Let this be a reminder to never trust any service be it one ran by a billion dollar company, to one ran by volunteers. You will be eventually screwed over. Make backup plans, and self-host whatever you can so nothing can be taken from you. For Git forges, I personally recommend Gitea[1], or Forgejo[2] (a Gitea fork by Codeberg)

Why? Banning abuse is fine, and disliking Cryptocurrency projects at a moral level is fine, but running a coffee hosting service and putting your moral judgements on projects like this just seems childish and unserious.

I'm also apparently banned from reading the article, despite having no previous usage of Codeberg or any history with the project, so I can't even see their reasoning.

there's decentralized git on Nostr:

https://nostrapps.github.io/nostrgit/

Your public key is your sovereign ownership of your project, and with Nostr is no longer bound to any single entity.

They also want to ban 'AI slop' - I'd love to see how they draw the lines on that one.
