Well that’s just how Codeberg works. It’s run by volunteers and organized as a registered association. This association strives to be very democratic about what happens to the platform, but you have to join it to gain insights and voting rights.

Of course you don’t have to and most users of Codeberg don’t - but you can and this makes Codeberg a lot more open and democratic than any other commercial platform.

Yeah sorry, I didn’t mean to address you personally and should’ve used they/them.

I don’t want to depend on a platform that rewrites its terms of service on a whim, without properly announcing that the change was even under consideration, and without giving its users a way to weigh in.

I wish it had linked to a discussion thread, or at the very least a poll, so that I could have voiced the concern I have

Then you should’ve joined Codeberg e.V. which gives you access to both a forum and a voting platform.
