They also are thinking to ban projects that use LLMs.. so uh.

Already banned

Sounds like they're willing to ban anything "unpopular." Not a good sign for serious development.
That’s not correct, and you should know better than to claim this. 4 minutes before making this comment, you acknowledged it was about harmful products, not unpopular ones.
It’s still rather poorly worded, though. The ban is: “Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects”
And AI is wildly popular. Competitor Microsoft has sunk billions into it.

AI is wildly unpopular among certain circles (Fediverse being one and I suspect there’s a considerable amount of overlap between the types of people on Codeberg and Lemmy).
It’s popular as far as billionaires and corporations like Microsoft and Facebook are concerned, which was my point.

Pretty sure they're not users of Codeberg, and likely weren't the ones who voted for this TOS change.
Well, maybe Microsoft did, given it makes Github look more appealing by comparison.
Ah yes, Microsoft, the company people love because of their AI pushing
