# Sibling Repos
This is a section for repos that are similar to this one either because they are also forks of the original upstream, or because they align with our goal of idenitifying and avoiding AI/LLM usage OR identifying/elevating projects that do NOT use AI/LLMs. These repos are not all maintained by the same people, but we may share some contributors and generally be kind FOSS nieghbors.

- [llm-afflicted-software](https://codeberg.org/ai-alternatives/llm-afflicted-software) offers a similar list to ours here, however in YMAL file format for each category, making it more suitable to consumption via code (for instance writing a CLI, GUI, or TUI tool to consume it). They've also kindly reached out in the past and submitted Issues and PRs (e.g. [#12](https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/issues/12), [#22](https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/pulls/22)) to help us here.

## Stolen Training Data
AI companies use data from across the web for training their models, most often without the website owners' and users' consent. Big tech companies like Google and Meta are scraping data from the users of major FOSS projects, such as Mastodon, WordPress, and other AcitivityPub-powered and self-hosted software.

Big tech companies like Google and Meta are scraping data from the users of major FOSS projects, such as Mastodon, WordPress, and other ActivityPub-powered and self-hosted software.
* In 2023, [the Washington Post published a list of sources in Google's C4 data set](https://archive.ph/eehKq). A multitude of fediverse instances and personal sites were included. The fediverse is known for its userbase being major proponents of privacy and opt-in consent, making this especially jarring for those who have chosen to use decentralized social media for control over their data.
* In 2025, [a similar leak of Meta's sources was published](https://archive.ph/NZlf3). Meta's list demonstrates how their integration of ActivityPub into their Threads software has enhanced their ability to mine content without authorization. Threads is widely blocked in some parts of the fediverse, but their scraping of server CDNs has allowed them to get around that. Notably, both the CDN domains of the managed hosting services masto.host and fedi.monster are included in the list; large servers like mastodon.art, which is hosted by the former and has many artists who've left sites like DeviantArt and others due to their AI scraping of user content, had [media unknowingly scraped](https://mastodon.art/@Curator/115022115346692178).
