@wlaatje@social.edu.nl I don’t like this poor take on what Codeberg did. It’s so typical and boring that some people (mostly in tech?) believe technology can be completely separated from politics. Codeberg’s members have spoken which is exactly the difference we need compared to big tech, and yes, in a (healthy) democracy, there will always be disagreement. Either learn to deal with that or start your own member driven alternative (yay Open Source!) that better fits the values of you(r community).

@wlaatje@social.edu.nl my crude understanding is that this hasn't been a top-down decision, rather it was made by members of the assembly and so reflects what users who particpated in the discussion favoured. Those participating may not be representative of the sentiments of all users though. Increasingly I think self-hosting everything is the only path to being completely happy with one's tech stack as there will always be compromises.

codeberg was never meant to be censorship resistant or decentralised. If you have spicy code then self host your own gitea or forgejo instance and mirror it to others. If you are just looking for a centralised one with better values than GH or GL than codeberg is fine for what it offers. life if full of trade-offs, more choices is better than few IMHO

@wlaatje@social.edu.nl Don’t agree with the framing in the toot, but the article makes some good points.

@wlaatje@social.edu.nl Developer for profession here, kinda forced into AI, employer expects me to utilise and implement it, because investor's roadmap. Not because I want to. Don't want to loose the perks, mortgage etc 🙄. I have repo's started out non-AI. One repo yes, is generated by Claude not because I can't do this myself, just too many hobbies, still wanted to realise and share it. To be honest, there's no way back. Code 'touched' by AI is also sharing the recipe 🙂, has positive sides right?

@monkee@chaos.social @wlaatje@social.edu.nl he lost me at "arbitrary platform decisions" this resolution was coming from the community and voted on by the community. That's the f'ing opposite of an "arbitrary platform decision" But if you are feeling attacked by a community that uses a democratic process to define their ethical standards you tell a lot about your very own values.
