hf.space is a hosting service for "AI Apps" and is currently being used to generate large amounts of #Spam on federated networks. The subdomain seen in use is ali525-q.hf.space - however, numerous spam activities are paused, running, or being stopped by HuggingFace and at this time we recommend suspending federation with the hf.space domain entirely.

@iftas we've defederated hf.space altogether because we feel that there's probably no reason to entertain any traffic from HuggingFace at all.

@stux

?

@chad @iftas

@Jimijamflimflam @chad @iftas We also blocked them

@Jimijamflimflam @stux@mstdn.social @chad @iftas slop factory

@Jimijamflimflam @stux @chad @iftas Anything coming from that domain is going to be AI slop that I would assume most fediverse instance operators don't want.

If you haven't blocked the root domain at Hugging Face (hf.space) be aware there is new Pleroma-based activity coming from

saly125-a.hf.space

@iftas every time I hear "hugging face" I think of xenomorphs and no slop company propaganda will ever change that

@iftas I...I thought that domain was for high frequency electronics :(

@iftas he just wants to hug your face. Isn't he cute?

@azonenberg @iftas

Every day I am more and more aware that I am An Old now.

Because yeah, WHY WOULD YOU NAME YOUR SKIPPY-HAPPY-AI-BUT-NOT-BAD-AI COMPANY AFTER XENOMORPH LARVAE...

apparently The Kids These Days mean this thing: 🤗

@johannab @iftas i like to think they're self aware enough to choose a dangerous parasite as their namesake

@azonenberg @iftas I’m with you on xenomorphs. I didn’t know it was referencing an emoji for a long time and just assumed it was something macabre about face huggers.
