I routinely block anti-AI accounts, partly because too many anti-AI protestors are worse than chatbots from a decade ago.

@Imnebuddy thanks, you’re ahead of me in your thinking.
You’re not blocked.
At my profile, I’m open about blocking.


@halm thanks.
The Linuxiac headline is titillating, but false. Maybe based on disinformation.
It’s fairly well-known that NetBSD has not banned AI-generated code.
I gained a balanced answer from Anthropic Claude a few weeks ago, to help tackle misinformation in Reddit. 2026-10-17:

For your Lemmy post, my beige.party view shows:

– clearly out of tune with the Lemmy view of its popularity.
My https://mastodon.social/@SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml/117598276783857430 view of your post is more in tune (screenshot below).
I have a quiet idea about a possible explanation. I’ll test something, then follow up, maybe later today.
In the meantime: from the logged-out Lemmy view of your Lemmy post, I see that Imnebuddy probably did see my comment about CoffeeBSD. That’s a good thing, although it might negate the possible explanation (above).
Ah, the Mysteries of the Fediverse.



@SocialistVibes01 OK, thanks. Maybe you can let Imnebuddy have this link:

CoffeeBSD ― an AI-free fork of FreeBSD


@SocialistVibes01 I can’t see any of the three previous replies in Mastodon, is that normal? A limitation of Lemmy, maybe?
In Lemmy (not logged in), I see a response from Imnebuddy less than thirty minutes ago.
https://beige.party/@Imnebuddy@lemmy.ml (logged in to Mastodon) shows nothing more recent than https://lemmy.ml/post/41935087 – ten months ago.
@jaypatelani also, for giggles, there’s an extremist anti-AI site that describes NetBSD’s AI policy as permissive.
I’ll allow people to find their own way there.
