Anything you write that ends up on anywhere on the web can be used
for LLM training. This very mailing list has a web-accessible message
archive, that a scraper can easily download.

Even if we didn't have a mirror of our repo on github, the primary
repo is accessible vie web browser (and thus, scraping bots):

https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds

Not being on github doesn't protect it.

Basically the only way to avoid having your writings (code or
otherwise) scraped and used to train LLMs... is to not write anything
at all. Or, never publish anything, in which case who are you writing
for?
