★ 23Audience · general

TLDR

A fake landing page mimicking SillyTavern, a free open-source AI roleplay chat tool, and claiming to offer a version with subscriptions removed. SillyTavern has no subscription to begin with, this page links off-site and has a high risk of distributing malware.

In plain English

This repository contains no source code. It is a landing page advertising a download of SillyTavern, an AI character roleplay chat front-end. The README follows an identical template to several other repositories in this pattern: a feature list, a "What's Removed" section claiming to strip out subscriptions and usage limits, system requirements, and a download link pointing to an external Telegra.ph page rather than anything hosted in the repository itself. The claim that a subscription has been removed is misleading. SillyTavern is actually a free, open-source project with no subscription and no paid tiers. There is nothing to unlock. The real SillyTavern project is hosted at a separate official repository and is freely available without any of the steps described here. This repository does not contain the SillyTavern source code, any installer, or any community extensions. The single download link goes off-site. There is no license, no version history, and no affiliation with the actual SillyTavern project or its maintainers. Pages of this type, which mimic popular software tools and redirect to external download links, are frequently used to distribute malware. This repository has no connection to the legitimate SillyTavern project.
