Why were your projects no longer welcomed at Codeberg?

Codeberg recently changed policy to not allow primarily AI-authored projects.

Oh, I see. Well I won’t be installing this then.

I just don't understand...what is the use case of this? I thought it would be something that cleverly renders text without style in a minimalist-browser sort of way. But this just literally...shows you the web page...in the CLI? I'm confused.
