I don’t get why a group of users that are willing to run their own LLMs locally and do not want to relay on centralized corporations like openAI or google prefer to discuss using a centralized site like Reddit

Because it’s not ideological, they just want to generate porn, which is against OpenAI TOS.
To be fair, I saw /r/LocalLLaMA referenced in a scientific paper (“bloc97” in the paper about Streaming-LLM) talking about NTK-aware RoPE scaling. Which is kind of an awesome achievement.
And to me it’s fascinating that Reddit is generally friendly towards porn. I think they have started to restrict adult content with their API change but so far there are lots of corners where you can even post pictures of your member. And that’s not really possible on many of the other big commercial online platforms. I wonder where they’re headed in the long term.
