We are defederating awful.systems from:

because it's extremely anarchist to use the chatbot as your moderator (no no it's totally human in the loop) and post corporate DARVO-filled excuses when caught.

see also [1] and [2]

This is a last straw after a string of dubious and exhausting behaviour.

If you're an awful.systems user and you post to communities on those instances, you will need to create an account on one of them.

your read of this situation is entirely correct, but things aren't as bad as you think. things are a bit worse

they're running a distributed computing thing that hosts some llms and diffusion models, for their own and their users use

and, frankly, given the “what makes you think there even is a repo?” type answers, I’d have some Ops Maturity questions there too

(nvm even the code itself (which apparently is something in the ballpark of heisenberg dynamics))

update 2: they found the repo, week+ later, but won't show you and it was made by yet another admin (tbf it was said straight previously deep in some thread). just a rogue mod, nothing to see here
