AI slop is killing online communities

Most of the communities I'm in are doing just fine, with healthy discussions, much cheer and joy (and an occassional spiral into doom and gloom, as is the nature of modern humanity). There's no AI slop in there, and it ain't killing them in any shape or form.

The trick? These communities banned AI. Not just AI slop, everything LLMs and what is today known as "AI". They took a hard stance, and it paid off.

Now, the author of this article sees their communities struggle - because like the author, those communities did not take a hard stand. On the contrary! They embraced "AI"! And with that embrace comes the slop.

Want to keep AI slop out of your communities? Enact a hard anti-LLM policy for code and for everything else too, and enforce it. It's that simple.

Bug 292775 is totally and completely unrelated, but it was one of only three hits when I broadened my search by deleting search terms until only this remained:

Undefined symbol "xmlSchematronFree"

port devel/appstream 1.1.2 (in ports tree git branch 2026Q2) failed with error messages the 'Net never saw:

FAILED: [code=1] data/org.freedesktop.appstream.cli.metainfo.xml

ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/lxml/etree.cpython-311.so: Undefined symbol "xmlSchematronFree"

The only hint is Bug 292775:

Upgrade devel/py-lxml (from py311-lxml-6.0.1 to py311-lxml-6.0.4 in my case), which upgraded lang/cython (from py311-cython3-3.2.2 to py311-cython-3.2.4 in my case).

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer:

“Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I have seen the fall of nations and am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

We didn't even notice that Google killed its most beautiful flower, Search, more than 15 whole years ago.

Like the rest of the World Wide Web, they didn't go away. We did.

We got lured away from the World Wide Web into the shiny and green walled gardens. Now we forgot what's beyond that wall, and we're only just noticing that the garden's flowers are wilted and its grass is long since dead.

The World Wide Web is still there, only diminished by our absence and invisible behind the walls of the worst tech corporations selling us a utopia that isn't.
