We're suspending the user fasterthanlime @ hachyderm.io for harassment of a Puerto Rican FOSS contributor and being a sloperator (someone who ruins the environment and code quality using ai).

The FOSS contributor, that fasterthanlime harassed, created an open source list of software projects infected with ai slop, and was harassed into leaving the FOSS community by people such as fasterthanlime who love LLMs more than they love BIPOC fems in this community.

What they did was shameful. They have tens of thousands of followers on fedi and thousands on GitHub. They knew what they were doing.

Fasterthanlime even went and removed all references to Kat's associated projects, such as KDL, and kept publicly shaming her. This is highly inappropriate and unprofessional.

LLM defenders are not allowed on this instance, especially if they harass Puerto Rican comrades out of the FOSS community. This is awful.

Anyone coming to defend LLMs or LLM users in the comments will be suspended.

@tootadmin do you have receipts of the harassment outside of the couple of cringe posts (i already saw normally) and the exceptionally cringe pr
to me, harassment would mean like several posts actively directing people to do some action but if you define it differently then you could explain that

@tauon They had an entire thread of people chiming in to be cruel to her for her legit slop list. And that PR removed all her previous contributions from a major project. It was over 200 files changed to remove support for KDL, a config language she wrote and helps maintain.

@tootadmin @tauon > And that PR removed all her previous contributions from a major project.

Kat has never contributed to this project.

What was removed is the dependence on other projects which are unchanged.

Nobodys previous contributions were removed.

@calisti @tauon They removed all references to KDL because it was associated with Kat, because KDL was initially designed by Kat, and is still partially maintained by her. This was was incredibly unprofessional.

@calisti @tauon updated to reflect the pettiness of removing two external libraries by someone you hate because they called you out for using LLMs. Thanks.

@tootadmin @tauon To be honest, being put on a list (as individual person, not just their projects!), I understand how Amos didn’t feel comfortable basing their work on top of the Kat who made themselves a witch hunter.

I feel like the “witch hunt” term is rather appropriate, looking at your initial post. Whipping up an incinerating yet inappropriate racism argument seems far fetched, as far as I have seen the goings on with my own eyes.
