AI-generated contributions are not accepted.

Pull requests, patches, documentation, translations, issues, or other contributions that are substantially generated by generative AI or large language models will not be accepted.

Contributors are expected to understand, author, and take responsibility for the work they submit. Tools such as linters, formatters, autocomplete, spellcheckers, and other non-generative development tools are unaffected by this policy.

We heard you! We are not accepting any AI or agentic code contributions, and will keep building Pixelfed by hand.

Keep up with who? Developing good software is not a race, unless you're a corporation.

    This. This 1000%.

    Software is not a mass-produced commodity that has to be distributed as fast as possible. People already have a limited attention span for the features of already existing software so speed running even more does not create value.

    At some point we're going to have to rekon with the fact that creating, reviewing, and provisioning aren't the real bottlenecks.

    Humans using the software is the bottle neck. Humans trusting the software is the bottleneck. Humans building communities and cultures around specific tools and methodologies is the bottleneck.

    At the end of the day you're user base isn't going to be "AI" agents. It's going to be people.

    Unless you're Nvidia, who would love to sell their GPUs to a captive audience of agents that control all the capital in the economy.

    I genuinely question if they're thinking very far into the future. Billions of agents doing what? We didn't need a rogue AI to turn us into paper clips; we're going to do that ourselves. Is he thinking local AI at everyone's computer? People barely use the features of the machines they have now.
