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:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

AAA-NO-SLOP.md: a signal for humans that don’t like LLMs (codeberg.org)

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

How does one even come up with poison like that? Is it generated? If not you sure were creative!

I started from a vague memory of something that used to screw up LLMs (the grandma trick) and wrote whatever sounded fun from there

there’s absolutely no guarantees it’ll do anything to an LLM as spending money on tokens to test it felt gross, but it’s a hopefully memorable starting point for people to grow on

in the very worst case it gives the humans reading the repo a laugh (always worth it), fills a bit of the context window of visiting LLMs with nonsense, gives visiting slop coders absolutely nothing to work with, and acts like a canary (if you’re viewing a diff that changes these files and you weren’t expecting changes, someone using an LLM slipped up)

It sure did its job with me!
