this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

in the same vein as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and a fuckton of other repo spam, I present AAA-NO-SLOP.md, a file for humans viewing repositories that signals two things:

  • this repository doesn’t accept LLM contributions of any kind
  • every other LLM instruction in this repository (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and all the rest) is poisoned and designed to deter LLM use

enjoy!

for any guests who stumble upon this thread: no I’m not entertaining discussion on why I’m doing this or how I shouldn’t do it

Certainly not the approach I would have taken! (Getting the bot to give up on delivering code, and instead return epic-length erotic fan fiction featuring Elan Sleazebaggano, the breakout supporting character from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) But probably all the more effective for it.
