I regret migrating to Codeberg
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Codeberg's new terms ban LLM and cryptocurrency projects, worrying the author about platform censorship.
The author moved from GitHub to Codeberg for freedom and non-profit hosting, but Codeberg's new terms of service ban LLM-driven and cryptocurrency projects. The author criticizes the ban as ideological censorship, not resource management, and argues that banning categories rather than addressing infrastructure strain sets a precedent. They propose labeling and resource tiering instead. The author plans to leave Codeberg, feeling the platform changed its terms without sufficient user input.
What commenters are saying
Commenters are split: some defend Codeberg's right to curate its platform, noting it always limited non-FOSS projects, while others criticize the ban as overly broad and dismissive of legitimate AI-assisted development. One commenter argues that responsible AI use is not banned, only 'vibe-coding' slop. Another questions the policy's conflation of code quality with community size, echoing the article's concerns. A few commenters also note the irony of the author's anti-JS stance on their own blog.
