My view on the recent Codeberg drama:

Codeberg voting members have the right to decide the policy of their association, and I understand if a community is averse to anything that is AI- or Web3-related. I understand it, but I don't agree with it, because it's 2026, and if you still think you can just stick your head in the sand and wish for these ugly bad things to go away, well, I have bad news for you.
To me, this is a perfect recipe to relegate Codeberg to irrelevance. And we are already seeing the beginning of a new exodus.
Here is my conspiracy theory: the vote was pushed or manipulated from the inside by Big Tech. Whether this is true or not, one thing is sure: folks at Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI etc. are now popping champagne.

@tomgag It's utterly ridiculous. I will not be using codeberg.
What counts is the quality of the code, and if it does what I want it to do. In fact... if someone wants to upload sub-par quality code, that on them.
I'm in no way forced to use any open source software project, so I can just choose not to use it.
The codeberg guys just seem like little homos acting like this.
