I've been scouring the web for peoples opinion on and I'm seeing a lot of unfair assumptions and judgement for a project forked 3 days ago.

Don't mind if I vent for a second? Please read.

We are not a startup, we have few contributors and even fewer maintainers. We are a group of volunteers trying to continue VIm without AI slop code. We barely know each other. This fork started 3 days ago, be realistic please.

We're also trying to take on a codebase that has been going for decades that only has fallen to the dark side now.

From lobste.rs to Lemmy to Hacker News, we’ve been getting shit left and right in comments for forking the project. This is not everyone however.

This isn't a political move nor an ideological one. Not a fork out of spite. This is a fork out of preventing bad AI code that is also fucking our environment from seeping into programs we love.

We don't hate VIm, nor the lead maintainer, but we do not support their actions.

bleh, how exhausting. Especially the "link to proof of the ai slop???" comments. It's plenty easy to look for yourself if they're as competent as they think they are; I strongly suspect they just want to go "I don't see the problem, this looks like a perfectly fine commit/responsible use".

@walnut yeah, but it's even more exhausting when the same thing is repeated in several other places.

not to mention, it gets worse at the end of this thread.
