A developer who has maintained the Telethon Python library since 2014 shares their frustrations with GitHub's aggressive AI integration and the broader AI hype cycle. They announce migrating their projects to Codeberg, a non-profit code forge, citing GitHub's declining quality, AI crawler abuse of self-hosted servers, LLM-generated code slop flooding open source projects, and concerns about AI's environmental, social, and labor impacts. The author stops short of fully leaving GitHub due to link-rot concerns and the social capital of 12,000 stars, but advocates for owning your code and hardware.
