Do we really want Github regulating links in repos based purely on the moral instincts of random support employees? Seems weird. It's just a link, and not even to illegal content (AFAIK, I didn't actually follow them).

Do we really want GitHub to enforce its terms of service? Yes. Absolutely. If GitLab wants to be the site for projects that link to suspect anime porn, that's their prerogative. But so is GitHub's not to be that site. There are plenty of things that aren't illegal that a site might not want its users to link to. Appeal to legality is not just a red herring, it's also an incredibly weak argument.

I disagree. American people and sites oscillate between moralism (generally) and prurience (maybe only on the left), and I'd prefer those that are designed as technical platforms to do less editorializing. Not everyone shares a moral code. Hell, today I don't necessarily have the morals that I had myself yesterday.

So it wasn't the fact that large swaths of the wiki, or the sample images for the extensions are using images that are obviously stand ins for lolicon? There's so much icky stuff going on in the generative art community and no one knows just how deep that rabbit hole goes. E.g.: https://github.com/Kahsolt/stable-diffusion-webui-sonar (See bottom of page).

Username does not check out

I don’t 100% follow, I did a bit of googling and I don’t exactly grasp the problem. Could you point me in the right direction?

Isn't this kind of obvious though? Money grubbing management wants to ensure you're not using their product to promote a competing product. What is a competing product? Anything that takes a user away from spending time on their product. Spending time with family is a competitor. Driving to work is a competitor. They can't do anything about that kind of stuff, but they can prevent users from providing links to other…

Do you really believe that makes sense for GitHub's management?

Maybe not for those exact reasons, but by limiting links, you lower your liability. If people are associating a site with the linked sites, then you can try to remove that association by removing the links.

The question wasn't about GitHub's specific reasons. The question was "war on hyperlinks" which is a much more general/broad question.

I don't understand why people give a shit. When did normies invade the spaces of these crazy intelligent lunatics? People purposely go play in filth then complain it's filthy.

Hi, so I looked at the links in the above post and while cartoony they are clearly not okay. It's not a "normie" take that we shouldn't sexualize children, even if they are animated.

Are we looking at the same images? What’s sexual about https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kahsolt/stable-diffusion-w... ?

I was expecting some of the horrible stuff I’ve seen on 4chan, not something you might see in a mainstream (bad) anime.

If anything, it looks like the AI cleaned it up and made it more presentable.

I get that github wants to distance itself from images of possibly-underage women (even if it's anime style and generated by an AI), but I've definetly felt the Streisand effect here. I've never went far enough into the Wiki to even notice that this is a feature supported WebUI and Stable Diffusion, now thanks to github forcing the removal of the links in the most dramatic way possible I've scrolled through a signifi…

There's probably a co-function of the paradox of tolerance that says something of the form "to regulate something it must be described," which (not unlike the paradox) doesn't imply you don't regulate it.

Blocking the links is a good call for minimizing the odds of stumbling into them. Choosing to scroll through such content once it has been flagged is an individual choice and may carry individual consequences.

I don't want GitHub regulating links, but I still want them to reserve this power. You have no idea how many links to child porn people start to publish when you have any website with user-generated content

For a while I ran one of those 'online image resize' services.

I kept debug logs for 7 days of user uploads (and so the users download link would be valid for the same time).

It really amazed me what proportion was porn. Like a good 30% of uploads.

How can so many people need their jpeg porn pictures upscaled?!?

Turns out the TOS violation had nothing whatsoever to do with racism, as so many commenters here were overly confident to proclaim, in typical HN style. It's because he'd linked to prohibited content in the wiki: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki... Here's the issue discussing it: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issu...

That's called source hut ( https://sourcehut.org ), which I use with great delight.

SourceHut will ban you for being racist too. Or anything the founder thinks seems bigoted enough. [1] [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33418598

Huh, now I regret giving SourceHut money. Looks like self-hosting is only sane, judgment-free option.

This looks like a tool for generating images of underage cartoon children? Even right now you can see some of the example images are generated with a hand on the breast through a bikini top.

>This looks like a tool for generating images of underage cartoon children? Same way Photoshop can be considered a tool for drawing images of underage cartoon children.

In Photoshop's official documentation, does Adobe include links to instructions for creating "lolicon" (cartoon child pornography), like Automatic1111 did?
