I was about to mention Codeberg but I saw the last two changes to the terms of use and they're basically digging themselves into the ground with so many restrictions

Is your a majority of your project LLM code?

No but I use LLMs for repetitive tasks and chores mainly, the ToS forbids any use of LLMs, not just "reasonable" or "unreasonable" use. And even if it wasn't my case, if someone wants to purely vibecode, they should be free to do it. As I mentioned in another comment, I understand the restriction, I really do, it's not abut the code and more about the complications posed by automated LLM flows (unending shit PRs, merges, thousands of CI jobs running for no reason...) but still, I don't think it's the way to go.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It ridiculous, Codeberg did the same. I get why, really, I do, but it's creating a severe damage that will be abused by a third evil actor that will take over the wasteland of GitHub and GitLab by creating a service that will allow anything (until it is enshittified of course) Outcome? Everyone on their own self-hosted git servers, zero collaboration.

What kind of collaboration were you getting on your random GitHub uploads? I didn't get any. This collaboration thing seems like an excuse if people have a way to contact you. Codeberg only banned projects that are majority LLM-coded. They did not ban all use of LLMs.

It seems my eyes skipped the part of "[...]mostly consist of code written by generative AIs[...]" my bad. Which means I have to apologize twice, because of the other comment. Damn, good slap in the face xD
