Hey, so fair warning. the stoat ai thread is devolving. please spread the info that the ai code has already been dededeleted, but the thread is getting argumentative. thank you for understanding

i pressed the wrong button and set the already on fire database on more fire, but its okay because i figured out how to make the database happy service is restabilising, still substantial load on API side of things but messages are getting through again and it seems to be going down now! - izzy

it's discord. i think i underestimated how fast we'd slam her. good to see so many people interested, though!

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

alright, that i can accept. but also, dev talks to the community and shows they respond. and it's the one with the most effort so far.

as someone in the dev side of foss, i'm also hoping. just...ouch. but now we can get to work on holding them accountable and preventing this. and always remember: FORK FORK FORK

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

oh not at all. but now the easy part: holding them to standards.

010

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

understandable. but their angle is familiar. you're up against DISCORD. they look UNTOUCHABLE and ALMIGHTY. you have no idea if anyone will care. then today happens.

110

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

going around spreading this: one dev, maybe two.

100

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

as i've been trying to spread: it's one dev with zero expectation and a whole lot of road up. probably genuinely thought the project would die.

100

itscoldlately.bsky.social @itscoldlately.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

do note it's just one dev. probably didn't expect the influx and was swimming by unaware.

The developer is listening to feedback and says they are happy to revert their commits. I'll delete this post once that happens.

regardless of the many morality-based arguments you can make against LLM usage, it's worth considering that there are many people with incredibly strong anti-LLM views, and those people tend to be minorities or other vulnerable groups. if it's only 0.01% of the codebase anyway, you should heavily consider putting in a little extra work to make that 0% and ensure that it stays that way: both from a business perspective to gain more users, and also just because it's a nice thing to do for people who are already struggling immensely with a world that's becoming more and more LLM-centric. thank you for reading and considering this, if you do.

I'm happy to revert the commits since it's not all that much, once GitHub starts working anyways, since it's not all that much.

I would heavily recommend you do and discontinue use of it at all and ban use of it in the future for the project at large. LLM slop code is the death of projects like this.
