AUTOMATIC1111's GitHub Account Suspended For "TOS Violations"

Context is important in theory, but it certainly didn’t stop dijit from deciding that (((disfigured feet))), which they did not quote, was “pretty disgusting”.

In this climate, it takes one Twitter personality with a lot of followers to tweet out a “look at this racist” tweet, and that’s it, you’re a racist to a huge number of people who will probably never look beyond that single tweet. Good luck convincing 20% of them that you’re in fact innocent afterwards.

Edit: Years ago when I was part of a high profile open source project, I was once privately accused of being intolerant towards trans people. It happened after I sharply criticized some trans person's backwards-incompatible PR (which later proved to be pretty bad after being merged despite objections). I had no idea of the person's gender before the accusation, nor did I care after learning about it; they were simply an Internet handle to me. I also never use slurs. Looking back I'm just glad I wasn't shamed openly.

I have no idea who this "dijit" is, if you're upset with them you should tweet at them. I'm talking about a handful of people on HN pretending not to know that if you were to refer to me as "(((smcl)))" somewhere you are making the statement "hey smcl, I know you're Jewish. I want you to know that, and I want my little alt-right friends to know that too..."

> I'm talking about a handful of people on HN pretending not to know

I'm a person on HN. I didn't know that.

It's pretty esoteric, and that's coming from someone who's APL-curious.

But then, I don't spend any of my time reading alt-right or anti-alt-right blogs.

The user I was replying to ("luckylion") very clearly knew and was making a mockery of it, and ignoring the very reasonable, understandable comment describing that it is dependent on a specific context.

Not only that, it appears they also didn't know it decreased the term weight, rather than increasing it. So they really were just in here to troll.

There's no reasonable, understandable way to see (raised long fluffy tail), (((detailed face))), (((detailed amber eyes))), (((disfigured feet))), ((extra limbs)), (((water marks))), ((captions)), ((text)), (((feral))) and come away with "I guess it's that Twitter thing". Really, no, let's not cast away all reason just to taste the sweet fruit of outrage.

Ok someone mistook these things on GitHub for antisemitism - that was an error. However other people wondered what the triple parens meant, and you mocked the idea that right wingers use it with a wink and a nudge to identify Jewish people.

Slightly lacking in taste, but you do you

1. Each set of parentheses adds 10% to the weighting of the term in a stable diffusion prompt 2. That particular term is in the negative prompt, signaling the model to avoid inclusion of matches for that in the produced images.

Context does matter.
