    @mcc I am stuck on github for a bunch of reasons but if codeberg actually added clear, automation-assisted workflows for marking people as [potential contributor ➡️ contributor ➡️ auditioning maintainer ➡️ maintainer ➡️ core team ➡️ emeritus that might be a feature I need badly enough to switch

    @mcc re: the blocklist, I think that it's something that would need to be handled very carefully, as we have previously seen that Making Lists can get us all into trouble very fast. but there's probably a way to do it without turning it into a professional blackball machine when the hype rebounds

      @glyph codeberg could probably be persuaded to add this if they got a PR for it. especially if you want a complex Jira-like flow like that, even if they had the time to architect it out they probably would not come up with the exact design you're looking for.

        @glyph has anyone tried simply banning discussion of the no-AI policy and banning anyone who wants to debate it?

        @mcc @glyph I feel like I might need to make a corollary to the Olivia Hill rule.

          One of the very difficult tensions around this problem is that the extrusion enthusiast culture itself is deeply obnoxious, bordering on predatory. So enforcement of boundaries may sometimes need to be pretty confrontational. And it really shouldn't be incumbent upon maintainers themselves to need to constantly re-litigate basic project policy in every single PR, because that is a recipe for burnout. As a recent and striking example, consider *this* disaster:

          @glyph It often feels to me like this relates to a broader problem around boundaries.

          Like the smaller scope is what feels to me (subjectively, maybe confirmation bias) like people keep pushing non-users to reconsider trying LLMs. The new model is better, your objections are out of date.

          (And obviously the scale of that for a maintainer is likely to be much worse anyway.)

          But that in turn also makes me think of the deceptive/coercive patterns of ‘not now’ or ‘maybe later’ where no is never an option; your refusal is always open to reconsideration.

            @mttaggart I think that most projects should maintain hard boundaries around rejecting any LLM output, for the reasons that you suggest, although obviously we have a long way to go on convincing people of that. However, "AI PRs not accepted" is not the same policy as "hurl expletives and insults at everyone who tries". *Some* of the people who are trying just don't know any better, and might be amenable to a friendly invitation to try again with code they wrote themselves.

            @glyph I don't disagree on principle, but how do you imagine a hard ban (such as the one I just implemented for IFIN) be enforced? I don't know how you do it other than only accepting PRs from known, trusted members of a community and not the internet at large. Like you need some sort of filtering process if you actually want to ban generative code, and the filter probably won't be anything like a code smell for long.
