I'm surprised they don't lock some things behind account logins. Is it that hard to decide what would be acceptable to no longer serve without an account?

From this most recent event, such a policy would probably need to be proposed and voted on, if the voting members of Codeberg want it that way.

The way I read their post, it's doing double duty: the first is the announcement of the ToS changes. The second is laying out their overall position, because -- by their own words -- LLMs are controversial and with this announcement, they are pushed into a discussion where not everyone is on the same page. Should the LLM problem continue to get worse for Codeberg, their post is fair warning that future measures might be proposed and voted on. No one should believe that the two ToS changes alone have fully mitigated the LLM problem for Codeberg.

And I think that goes exactly to their point about communities: Codeberg fosters human communities, unlike LLMs that embody nothing, and GitHub that is commercial with a free tier. If something is going to change, it will be by community discussion and decision. In that sense, their radical transparency is exceptional.
