Ironically, GitHub wikis have a history of commits just like the main repository (not sure whether they actually use git for the wikis or just present them using the same interface) and nothing is lost: the diff can be seen at https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
Github's wiki being essentially a git repo with markdown is one of the killer features that I can't believe people don't rave about. It's so wonderfully useful and open. I can edit pages locally in vim and commit them, but my non-technical partner can edit them easily in the UI as well. If/when there are merge conflicts, it's just standard git to resolve them!

At some point, someone will (re)discover the Linux Kernel development model again and announce that chatting over a mailing list, reporting bugs over (self-hosted) Bugzilla and sending patches via mail is the best thing since sliced bread ;)
That's called source hut ( https://sourcehut.org ), which I use with great delight.

I sorta do this; I have a small collection of historical programming languages texts that I make available to my students and anyone else interested. It’s not really a membership kind of thing tho.
> But wouldn’t you agree that if I run a private professional library, I have the right to add or remove books by any (legal) process I deem appropriate? Of course. I don't think this is a question of freedom of speech or anything like that. I think this is about how Github should moderate its content in a way that is best for its users and its business. Making a Twitter profile or a YouTube channel disappear is cate…
I agree it's categorically different but not in the way you mean. From your other post, I understand that you view Twitter and YouTube as social media, and they are distinct from software infrastructure like GitHub.
The way I see it, all three are social networks, but what make GitHub distinct from the other two is that it's backed by git. So if GitHub wants to ban me, I can easily move my code to any number of services. Which, honestly if you're relying on GitHub as infrastructure, you should have a backup plan anyway for if/when it goes down.

Is that an euphanism for "porn"?

That said, I hope this whole debacle has shown a light on the potentially problematic nature of having the Automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui project be the go-to UI for using Stable Diffusion. Not just because of the viewpoints implied by Automatic1111's other repos. Automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui is a mess of a codebase and while it has the largest plethora of features and plugins in the StableDiffusion ecosystem, it's also one of the hardest tools to use. InvokeAI has a much friendlier UI, for comparison. Plus Automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui has no formally published license, making its codebase a tangled web of legal nightmares.
None of that is to degenerate the work of Automatic1111 or the hundreds of contributors to his project. And I'm for the most part not a fan of "censoring" code. But I hope we can agree it's not ideal to have such an important repo side by side with a "WhitesOnly" rimworld mod.
Even right now you can see some of the example images are generated with a hand on the breast through a bikini top.
