Whatever side you are on in this debate of "should GitHub decide what is good and bad" I think most people would agree that they really should quote a specific violation of specific TOS when they close your account. This should be the norm, as opposed to the current situation in which you are left wondering what the hell was problematic that some GitHub employee disagrees with. The corporation may benefit from having…

Somehow states get by, despite letting criminals know what they did wrong.

Sure, people probing you to see what they can get away with is annoying, but in the long run, it's far more "impractical" to have opaque justice.

How is the mod's actions his fault? That's like someone working for me messing up and me paying the cost for it.

...he made the mod? This is mod as in modification, not as in moderator.

Ah... I got confused lol

It's runined by professional victims. The bigots would have no voice without their victims' amplification.

I have no frigging idea even triple parentheses are unspeakable now. Just ran rg '\(\(\(.*\)\)\)' in my projects directory and found many instances authored by me. Guess I should prioritize fixing these, or next time I'm the target of some controversy, someone will use these as evidence of my antisemitism.

I suggest getting annoyed at the people who are constantly trying to think of new anti-Semitic dogwhistles. They make everyone's life harder.

Or getting annoyed at people who are constantly trying to think of new woke dogwhistles, trying to find "hate speech" in anything (remember Pepe, the OK sign or donglegate?)

Looking at the Reddit thread about this, there was some arguably racist stuff going on in his repo which could've been related to this suspension. I'm not sure whether this is the right way to handle such things (banning those specific repo's might be better), but it would be somewhat understandable.

How is this news when we all know git is decentralized? News at 11: company enforces their own TOS. Github is about as useful as a brand of kleenexes. If y'all didn't want this you wouldn't have used your damn pull request software to host your code.

It maters since decentralization is not a silver bullet. There is always some main repo, and it is hard to change it, or even just inform people about change. If you want other people to participate in your project then hosting it on biggest/most popular service reduces entry barrier

Stealthily introducing malware to your repositories (and distributing it on npm) is A-OK, absolutely no action taken when it happened last year with node-ipc, so I'm really curious to see what the rationale was in this case, for it doesn't get much worse than that. Some more fraudulent accusations of code theft? I don't buy it from the Copilot company, and the mods/racism allegations couldn't possibly be it, it'd make GH look irresponsible and definitely not a trustworthy place to host any project on.

So (((disfigured feet))) in the linked prompt means the feet are Jewish, and it's not about increasing the term weight? Thanks, I learned something new today.

It is in the "Negative prompt", so they really don't want disfigured feet.

For those wondering why - hands and feet are typically the bits that are usually rendered wrong. You can get a lovely face, body, spaceship, etc - but the odds of getting six+ fingers or toes is very high with most models. Common to point that out to the AI, at this stage in the game.

It is extremely common for programmers to use short names while coding. I use "const r" a lot instead of "const results". Do you think I'm doing that because I hate a group of people that are called a derogatory word that begins with r?

If it was the variable name for an array of famous autistic people, it might raise eyebrows, especially if coupled with other coincidences.

Plus, almost every other use of that field is a word, not a letter. The other poster's innocent abbreviation excuse doesn't pass muster.
