RTFA

Articles from across the web. Have you read something interesting and want to share it and talk about it? This is the place to do it. Don't be scared to post something with meat. We like reading and aren't scared off by needing to spend 10 minutes reading. In fact, we celebrate that!

Rules:

Read the Fucking Article before you comment. If it's obvious you are just replying to the headline with your two cents and haven't even read the article, don't whine if your comment is removed.
No Politics. There are a thousand other communities for that.
Articles should be at least 1,000 words! We'll be a little lenient on this if the article/discussion is interesting, but if your post is a headline and a paragraph, it will probably be removed.
Aussie.Zone Rules apply. This is a nice place, and we're pretty quick to stomp on nastiness.

Censorship

The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem. Once a platform writes into its terms that an entire category “harms its reputation” and can be removed on that basis, the deciding factor stops being whether the code is legal, or functional, or useful, and becomes whether it aligns with a position the platform has taken. I would argue that a significant share of the projects caught by a blanket ban of that kind are legitimate software rather than vibe-coded slop or sh.tcoin implementations.

Codeberg has always had rules about what kind of projects can be hosted right from the start. In particular, it is for projects that have permissive open-source licences. In this sense, Codeberg has always been community focused, rather than a generic 'public infrastructure' general purpose hosting platform. With this in mind Codeberg's recent decision about AI created code is very much in line with who they are. So I'd suggest that the article's author simply misunderstood what Codeberg is, and then got unset about it.
