This appears to be correct. The racism allegations are likely legitimate* but they don't appear to be involved with the account being taken down. * "WhiteOnly"

This appears to be correct. The racism allegations are likely legitimate* but they don't appear to be involved with the account being taken down. * "WhiteOnly" Rimworld mod that removes all non-whites; "PeacefulProtests" mod "narrated by George Floyd"; "BlackOnly" mod that purportedly just disables technological progression, though this claim appears to be unverified; exclusively black or black-painting artists in data set labeled with "n" + almost no other single-letters in use besides another possible euphemism, which when asked about gave a reply of "no comment"; long-time 4channer and /g/ poster (in recent years /g/ has become increasingly far-right; certainly not all /g/ posters are, but in combination with those other factors it may be relevant)

>"WhiteOnly" Rimworld mod that removes all non-whites This was in response to an already existing mod which removed all white people, which was deemed totally fine. AUTO1111 also made a all black MOD later, which you mentioned. >"BlacksOnly" mod that purportedly just disables technological progression This is false: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/103vsm2/webuis_new_home/j31r3sr/ https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/103vsm2/we... All it did was lock the available skintones. >/g/ has become increasingly far-right Any data to back this up with ? And how can you even know that AUTO1111 is active on /g/ ? It's anonymous.

  There were also plenty of news outlets that reported racist models that didn't produce proper representation. The n identifier could be used as a way to negate this problem or to provide evidence to the contrary of the dominant narrative of the incredibly powerful. When viewed as a whole, everything seems to be done to provide a counter to power. Which is also a function of truly open AI. When all pink is okay and all purple is not, you have a seriously color-based prejudice on your hands. Anyone arguing to the contrary would be wearing a white outfit going on about power in a different time.

  I think the fact that their Steam profile[1] was at some point called "Remember the six gorillion" speaks loud enough when it comes to their character, all other things aside.

While there are some other factors at play, and some inaccuracies in those claims, mentioned by sister comments, I agree with the conclusion. I've mentioned my observations in another comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34261198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34261198 That all is not to say that I would agree with a GitHub suspension; just that the author seems to be of questionable character.
