MSavoritias<p>Can I just say that, the fact that Codeberg has been down for a while now (not their fault of course love Codeberg <3 ),</p><p>But the fact that they have been down because LLMs and the whole AI things keeps unethically scraping everything, without consent, without limits to the servers affected by the scraping makes me angry.</p><p>What makes me more angry is the fact that we have conferences like FOSDEM, organizations like FSF, OSI and SWH, and linux distros including this unethically sourced models without question and without any kind of concerns. Completely "apolitical" and part of innovation.</p><p>If anything it also scares me how many of our collectives, linux distros, conferences, organizations have completely failed us. They say how they are community projects and about Free Software, while enabling wide-spread abuse of consent and resources. More recent example being Codeberg.</p><p>What are we going to do as a community here?</p><p>From Codeberg:<br> We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the wild west situation around the AI gold rush has prompted many big players to "simply crawl the web". Their massive resources can cause traffic that is much more than Codeberg can handle. It was a difficult decision for us, but we started to block suspicious traffic more aggressively to keep Codeberg available and performant to most of our users. And your traffic was also suspicious to us. </p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Codeberg</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/FSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FSF</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/OSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSI</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freesoftware</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/consent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consent</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fosdem</span></a></p>
