Yikes. I know there are points in an early-stage company where things are very unstructured and you end up in situations that you maybe wouldn't want as a larger company.. but in this case, it sounds like it would have been better for them to allow official and community-based channels of communication to live separately.

The entire subreddit is in a process of community migration now: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/

It did seem a weird turn of event them restricting 1.5 weights. Seems instead it was just a piece of the puzzle.

apparently, there is a separate drama about hacking at SD and accusations of ownership of code.

That drama is most likely the catalyst of the current drama. (i.e. StabilityAI getting control of the subreddit to control the NAI leak/discourage use of the AUTOMATIC1111 UI)

Which violates a number of Reddit's conflict of interest rules for moderators.

He was a minor and seemed to have more business sense than any of them.

The /r/StableDiffusion subreddit appears to skew younger, surprisingly.

Open source AI art has likely been the biggest catalyst of getting teenagers interested in computer science/machine learning in years.

I'm not familiar with Reddit's rules here: do they generally allow minors to mod a subreddit?
