Codeberg is just a nice logo wrapped around Forgejo/Gitea.

I don't really see the appeal besides free hosting + some storage.

People should either self-host a gitea/forgejo/gogs server for like 3$ a month on hetzner or just use gitea.com.

If you want to share your repos, just use sharemygit.com and spread the repo on coding forums. Personally I find this a much better stimulant for a community, then just having free-flowing code spread around like dust under a bed.

+ you actually dont need to be the victim of the whims of some ideological git-server provider. Ahem github (master->main), codeberg (no private repos are allowed), gitlab (you have to pay) etc. etc.

This is a bit strange. Are they saying that Codeberg no longer accepts vibe coded projects at all? If so, it seems kind of short sighted. Within a very short period of time all code will be AI code. What then? And as the models improve, along with better code will come better bug fixing etc etc. So the quality of AI code will absolutely surpass that of human code. What then? Will the repositories demand proof of prog…

They dont allow private repos, why would they allow vibe-coded stuff. They're a quite opinioninated company

Well, guess I will take my repositories elsewhere.

Self-host ahem. Do it.

Codeberg is a German non-profit. If you're going to be hyperbolic, at least get it somewhat right.

They are a non profit, not a company and you can have private repos. You are spreading misinformation.

Then all digital systems will be compromised and our civilization will collapse. Without internet and computers, we would all be living happy farmer lives.

Great decision from Codeberg. I’m only becoming more and more happy with my decision to transition away from GitHub.

When someone tells you "We cannot afford to support you anymore", do you also reply "Well, I'll take this burden to someone else who will be grateful to eat some cost in supporting me"?
