@MxCraven Wait no I just realized I misunderstood your post, you're looking at proposing no AI usage, not a statement of contribution.

I've been following and commenting on the Fluxer issue for revising contribution guidelines and I think it has some good ideas in there, including examples of other major projects looking to do similar:

@MxCraven

Starlight Network is working on a No-AI List of projects here: https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html

Included is a link to evidence of their no AI policy, which hopefully can help you figure out some good wording for your use!

@lina This is pure speculation on my part, but the feeling I get from the developer of Fluxer based off their blog posts and current setup is that they're trying to make a profit from their open source project.

And I say that without any judgement. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and I think some people could even argue that it's a good thing. Profit and funding is a good way to ensure continued support of an open source project, and while there are many FOSS projects that rely entirely on free, equal contributions, there are many more that simply die in their tracks because the sole maintainer was unable to find a way to fund their time to work on them.

@QueerMatters I think part of Fluxer's success is not just the lifetime Nitro-like offer (people do like their custom profile banners and global custom emotes), but the actual self-hosting support being paired with it currently.

At least as someone that would be interested in self-hosting and been looking at all the alternatives out there, I was surprised that was an offering at all, much less being sold as a lifetime support instead of a renewing cost. I certainly haven't come across anything similar in any of the self-hostable FOSS apps out there.

@lethalbit I was actually debating between Tailscale and some alternatives for some homelab networking options for a terribly long time.

I ended up using Netbird when I needed remote access for a bit, though just using their cloud coordination server or their equivalent for initial testing, and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. I have heard good things about Tailscale too though and curious what made you settle on it and what your use case is, mostly because I just like tinkering with random things and wonder if putting some time aside to try Tailscale as well is worth it.
