Sadly, it seems like Lemmy is going to integrate LLM code going forward: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6385 If you comment on the issue, please try to make sure it’s a productive and thoughtful comment and not pure hate brigading.

There is a growing list of projects to collaborate with that reject LLM code: Asahi Linux, elementaryOS, Gentoo, GIMP, GoToSocial, Löve2D, Loupe, NetBSD, postmarketOS, Qemu, RedoxOS, Servo, stb libraries, Zig.
