Torum is a self-hosted, Tor-native discussion forum modeled after Hacker News. It runs entirely as a Tor hidden service, accessible only through the Tor network via a .onion address. All data is stored locally in an SQLite database, and the entire application is managed through a single interactive shell script. Designed for operators who want to run a private or semi-private community forum with no reliance on clearnet infrastructure, third-party services, or cloud hosting.

@hereforawhile@lemmy.ml can you please update with the appropriate tag per rules 7/8? And if it is AI-assisted development, rule 8 link details the disclosures.

Let me know if you have any questions

[-] hereforawhile@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Yes, sorry haven't been here in awhile sorry.

This project was created with AI assistance.

[Me] Design - architecture, system design

[Ai] Implementation - production code

[Me] Testing - I've been testing live for a few weeks on various platforms for reliability and performance Bug hunting / feature tweaks.

[Ai - proofread and adjusted for accuracy by Me] Documentation - Docs, comments, README, change logs.

No worries, its a new rule following a slew of posts from brand new users promo'ing fully generated projects (and a pretty hefty community response as a result)

Thanks!

@curbstickle@anarchist.nexus

The OP's disclosure doesn't meet the requirements you laid out for proper disclosure. At this early stage I would suggest removing posts that only partially meet the criteria, otherwise you will spend a lot of time handholding posters. Or, if low quality disclosures are allowed, then it dilutes the effect of the rules immensely. I know you want to be patient with people, but proper enforcement now will pay off in the long run!

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 3 points 2 days ago

Unfortunately I was replying from my phone and didn't notice. And yes, definitely trying to be patient given its a new rule and not exactly the easiest.

The up side is these are the sort of things that come up that make it easier to identify the holes - particularly the lack of examples. I'll clear that up later today after I'm done with work.

Declare what aspect of the project used AI. You only need to provide the categories where AI was used:

Then state the level of AI involvement for each category listed:

@skyline2 what are you looking for the disclosure looks fulfilled to me?
