Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn’t returned to follow community rules.

Here’s the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

    Honestly, I am not effected by the decisions in any way, the issue I take is with the extremely vague wording, the fact that these two changes were made rather rapidly and seemingly just because they don’t like that type of project.

    What is the next project that harms their reputation? A torrenting application? An emulation application? Anything written in php?

    We wouldn’t and don’t take kindly to corpos using this kind of stuff, why would it be different here?

      It was a lenghty process with their members voting on both ToS changes. Just because you only hear from it now, doesn’t mean it was “made rather rapidly”.

      And the ambiguity is necessary to prevent overburdening the moderators. This isn’t some legal code with a well funded state apparatus behind it.
