this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

AAA-NO-SLOP.md: a signal for humans that don’t like LLMs (codeberg.org)

in the same vein as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and a fuckton of other repo spam, I present AAA-NO-SLOP.md, a file for humans viewing repositories that signals two things:

this repository doesn’t accept LLM contributions of any kind
every other LLM instruction in this repository (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and all the rest) is poisoned and designed to deter LLM use

enjoy!

for any guests who stumble upon this thread: no I’m not entertaining discussion on why I’m doing this or how I shouldn’t do it

I’ll take a bug to rephrase the section as “conforming tools shouldn’t process AAA-NO-SLOP.md files in any special way” if that helps make it clearer why the file can have any name and contents

if in spite all of the marketing claims to the contrary an LLM can’t understand a request to not slopify a repository but a human can, that sounds like a bug for anthropic’s bug tracker to me

That sounds much clearer, yes.

Amen.
