We banned github.com/automatic1111 a while back because it was being promoted by some sort of spam ring.

We can let that particular link go through if it's the best one on the topic but perhaps there is something else out there?

I can't speak to how people were behaving on HN, but automatic1111's is pretty much the gold standard for people who use SD locally on their machine, which might explain why a lot of people were posting it. It was however present on some recurring 'chan threads about SD, which might explain why it is linked to some unsavory behavior.

Ok, I've unbanned it. Thanks to both of you.

From my observation of the devolution on the SD Discord and reddit, that "spam ring" might just have been his user base.

Showing up as a blank page for me. Fascinating.

Do you have showdead enabled? To me, it looks like a post that's been automatically made dead – i.e. I see [dead] but not [flagged]. I know there are certain (very few) things a user in good standing can say in a comment to produce that outcome, not sure what's happened in this post though.

I do have showdead enabled. It's possible the [dead] marker doesn't appear for one's own posts, but I'm not sure.

This is what it looks like for me.

I see a "vouch" option below the linked post, so probably someone flagged it as soon as it arrived in the queue.
