[AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn’t returned to follow community rules.

Here’s the original topic news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

The decisions did go through Codeberg’s own Assembly 2026, which is more process than most platforms bother with, and yet as an ordinary user I found out about it the way probably most people else did, through a dark blue banner at the top of the site on the day it was already settled.

I did not even get to know about this that way. Only now, a month later from some backyard forum.

Why would you, unless you are a member of Codeberg e.V. with voting rights?

because as a user I may be affected by the rule. if you want people to follow your rules, not just to punish selectively based on them, you let everyone affacted know that you made a rule. because otherwise people won’t know the rule, and won’t follow it. and then you are an asshole if you complain that people didn’t follow rules they didn’t know were made.
