like jesus fuck I'm not even ragging on LLMs or fighting anyone. I'm literally just saying "this is not the space for this discussion" and marking replies as off-topic, including my own responses to them, so as not to detract from the completely unrelated issue.

@zkat good for you. You (or anybody) don't owe those people anything! Also thank you for your (mostly) thankless work.

@zkat ‘yes / maybe later’ mindset strikes again. “I already decided and the answer is no” isn’t an acceptable answer for these people. You have to keep discussing until you agree.

@zkat still thank you so much for making / maintaining kdl :). I was really happy finding it and am happy using it.

@zkat that's the difference on open source and free software. The power relationships. Fork off and shut up seems a reasonable response on your behalf.

@zkat "Talk to your LLM if you want someone who always tells you that your ideas are great."

@zkat Open source is (maybe subtly) about maintainership, and LLMs are incredibly hostile to maintainers. And licensing! I definitely have moved towards the Radical Copyleft over the last two years, after spending most of my career leaning towards permissive licenses, because I finally see the value of having some legal teeth to bite back against bad actors. Even GPL isn't some cure-all though, and it's exhausting. It's going to be a dark couple years of existing open source exploitation trends/burnout getting worse, which will be recounted by ghouls: "I don't understand why $maintainer doesn't just drink the Radithor I'm hawking! I've never felt more vitality in my bones."

@zkat if it’s open source… I believe it’s acceptable to tell them to fork off 😉
