Apparently it's been reinstated? https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/ - At least I could access it now.
Works for me

#252Wow! for context: AUTOMATIC1111 created and maintains (maintained?) an extremely popular and active web ui for stable diffusion. Beast-mode maintainer. Even after the debacle w stability.ai (who, to their great credit, I believe, normalized discord chatroom relations rapidly), that’s a string of bad luck for this community keystone of the nascent txt2img technological tranche. Whatever the eventual steady state of th…
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.
Someone can plant racist information anywhere and wait for the ban hammer then?

SourceHut as a solution to centralized censorship is...questionable. SourceHut bans anything blockchain/crypto related from their platform.
can't they just do that development on the blockchain itself?
Git is the original blockchain, actually. :D
Just distribute it to many hosts, and you're done. Post-commit hooks on one server can do that with no effort.
A TV company built a CDN like that. They pushed the data to Git, and it propagated in a fanning out fashion.

#254Having a Rimworld mod that removes black characters is not enough to warrant a platform ban, in my opinion.
You should also mention there are two counterpart mods called "black only" and "yellow only"
they’re indicating on the posted reddit thread that the “black only” mod prohibits research forcing the black characters to stay primitive…

The 'n' tag was an artist that gives you black people, and there is a problematic 'c' tag which, from the comment above is artists who painted naked children, so this is about as problematic as it gets.

The racist "information" in this case was produced by the maintainer of the project themself though.

And none of the triple parentheses contain peoples names or anything that could be considered religious... I'd guess this was enforced by someone reading a corporate policy that said "if you see triple parentheses, it's hate speech, ban the account".
Maybe, yes. On further investigation (see reddit) there also seems to be a CSV file with artist names in the repo. Black artists have a string 'n' in some unspecified column. I can't check myself if this might mean something else, eg. if other ethnicities also have this string... but there are some suspicious things going on in a that repo for sure. More than just the parentheses.
The n identifier has a valid place in a world trying to say the output is racist.
It is not exclusively applied to any skin color either.

I'm not sure I see how that was well intentioned? The developer releases a mod that removes non-white people from the game, and then two years later releases two other mods that "equalize" the situation by removing all races except one. I struggle to see what evidence of good intentions you're seeing in that quote.
I understand that a racist would never write something like: "finally, the injustice has been corrected"
I read that as sarcasm.

What do you mean by 'planting racist information' exactly?

#260Stealthily 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 mak…
making a white only rimworld mod is worse than distributing malware now I guess. Next move is they'll ban the account of everybody who complained about there being black dwarves, hobbits and elves in Rings Of Power.
