You are simply not the target audience of Codeberg. That's okay.

If you are on Arch, you can do this simple fix (instructions are similar for other distros):

  sudo pacman -S forgejo
  sudo systemctl enable --now forgejo

So who are you actually angry at? There was a vote, by people, in a democratic process, and Codeberg are adhering to it. Why is it Codeberg's problem that they don't defy the will of their members? Are you angry at them because the members put a motion against your particular special interests? If so, go make a new motion to reinstate them.

Banning LLM or crypto currency related projects is very bad. I think it's better to flag them or mark them, but let them be.

They're not banning code written and maintained with the use of LLM's. They're banning projects entirely created by LLM's and heavily (or solely) maintained by LLM's.

It's basically not allowing junkfood on their platform. Now that code is easier than ever to barf out, so will the amount of junk.

As for tossing out any and all crypto projects... how is anyone still willing to associate themselves with that pile of garbage?

Whilst I think that criticism of such heavy-handed decision making is valid, I can't help but feel this blog post is littered with unhelpful and snide culture war remarks, and a smug attitude that this is the definitive end of Codeberg. If Codeberg truly has gone woke, people who espouse 'anti-censorship at any cost', like the author, will leave. But many others will remain.

Had to read this one twice: “Projects "written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs".”

Isn’t that almost everything these days? If you’re using vscode or codex or Claude CLI you’re in that category.

I tend to agree but you can't deny that the widespread use of LLMs means that codeberg will expend more resources overall for projects taking advantage of them. And its members have spoken. We might disagree about the conclusion they came to and even how they went about it but their stance is clear now so we might as well just move on.
