Comment on There now exist bots that spam GitHub repos with AI generated solutions to issues
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago[…] Who’s that […]?
I presume they are referring to @nutomic@lemmy.ml ^[1]^. They are one of the main Lemmy developers ^[1.1]^.
[…] what does he have to do with this post?
I presume they are bringing up @nutomic@lemmy.ml because the example GitHub repository that I cited ^[3]^ is owned by @nutomic@lemmy.ml ^[2]^; that being said, specifically regarding their claim itself that @nutomic@lemmy.ml is transphobic ^[4]^ and is a genocide denier ^[4]^ is entirely off topic, imo.
I will make no comment on the veracity of the claim itself without further evidence. I do not wish to speak for @nutomic@lemmy.ml — I will let them speak for themself here should they wish.

It’s not off-topic when the person in question is involved. It’s specifically relevant to anything involving them.
Transphobic: lemmy.world/post/27563733
As for the genocide denial, I will admit I got that mixed up with the other Lemmy dev: github.com/dessalines/essays/…/socialism_faq.md
Either way I will continue to call out these pieces of shit whenever I see them mentioned.

As stated in the title, the topic is concerning the AI bots that are spamming GitHub repos ^[1]^. I personally encountered the bot in nutomic’s repo ^[2]^, so I used it as an example. Given this, your comment feels off-topic.

I do see that point of view, but honestly, I think it’s totally valid and understandable to point this out whenever they’re mentioned.

What client are you using? Boost is totally screwing up the references display
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I use Lemmy UI, Tesseract, and Thunder.
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Yeah, I’ve heard report of that bug in Boost before [1] [2].
Out of curiosity, what does it look like for you?
