@_gigabyte_ This guy has to be a parody.
@FaggotTourney I vote for SMetzeler.
Also, I seem to be the only person who finds his abuse of the ROFL and angry emojis extremely annoying.
@Inginsub @RustyCrab Drew openly admitted to having misogynist views in the past (13+ years ago) and that was cancel worthy enough for some people.
@xianc78 cat-v and suckless get on lists because people have no sense of humor (maybe edgy, but clearly humor). 9front shipped with mein kampf and had garbage pail kids release names. a handful of nerds doing a walk with torches is OBVIOUSLY people not taking themselves serious.
fuck em if they can't take a joke.

I can't believe I never thought of that as an option.
As much as I enjoy seeing Drew Devault getting a taste of his own medicine, it still doesn't change the fact that the cancel culture isn't going away and the people who are doing it now are probably much worse.
This ideological purity spiraling and bringing unrelated political issues to movements needs to stop and this list of AI-free projects that Drew is blacklisted from is a good example.
Now, I respect anyone's decision to boycott any and all projects/products/services/companies that use AI. In fact, in the coming years we will probably see something like the Non-GMO Project, but for AI. However, once you bring unrelated politics into it, it immediately falls apart and it drives people away from it.
Case in pint, the open-slopware AI-free list has blacklisted Suckless, Cat-V, DHH, and Jack Dorsey. Now, Jack Dorsey seems to be pro-AI, but he is also blacklisted for working on blockchain projects. I guess it never occurred to them that it's possible to be anti-AI but pro-blockchain. Suckless is one that only exists for reasons that seem out of context. One person pointed out that they had a meetup and they hiked with tiki torches, but tiki torches have existed long before C-ville. The other reasons they listed seem to be weak.
And to top it all off the list has badges that say shit like "enbyware" and "sponsored by the gay agenda". Not very helpful for those who just want to live without "AI-slop" and don't care about your other bullshit. Though, if you put your tinfoil hat on for a moment, maybe this is part of the plan. Maybe the AI pushers want you to accept AI in everything so they are going to make these AI-free projects/companies/organizations look unappealing as possible just like how they made organic products be associated with smelly hippies.
@icedquinn He doesn't forgive Stallman for things he allegedly said before Drew was even born and has later denounced, so it's a taste of his own medicine.
@beardalaxy @smugumin Hopefully, there is still a portion of the userbase that prefers forums and would create an unofficial successor.
