I honestly prefer if those that have Claude fix their forks keep said forks private and go on with their lives.
They overwhelm the main with their commits and forces the developer to wade through their AI slop that they couldn’t care less to check for quality and security themselves. Then they get angry that their commits aren’t accepted as the fix.

Yeah, sorry, I read your “will you give them a chance” as asking for my personal thoughts on the matter. That not everyone has the know-how doesn’t stop me from self-hosting. ;-)
My advice when it comes to external services - never trust them to keep your data safe. If the data is important to you keep your own backups.
An example is when TietoEvry, one of the largest IT service providers in the Nordics, lost up to 20 years of archived data for their customers.

Until an independent third party audit of their vpn services is available I’ll not even consider using it. My drive is in my basement.
