I feel the desire for competition to GH that the auther espouses is great, but we should not want a monocultural place that we demand everyone join like Github, and the idea that Codeberg is wrong here for not trying to become that kind of big tent is what I object to more than the technical merits of the LLM restrictions.

Aim for a fediverse highly fragmented model over a Bluesky model. Any organization can run Forgejo, why do we need to go to Codeberg?

Their About Us page even touches on this and mentions alternatives

If there won't be a one “default” place for laypeople to go to, the project won't catch on.

Bluesky got popular because they had this place. Pixelfed got somewhat popular because they maintained a “central” instance. Matrix had matrix.org.

PeerTube, Lemmy and most of the Fediverse are niche geek places because they have many equally poorly-funded instances.

Good. People can always self host their shit if they want to use AI slop for the majority of their code.
