That's a lot of words for "She created a meme by doing a Justin Bieber parody, then did YouTube from 2010-2019, then disappeared from the internet".

... isn't an alternative if you're looking for availability.

It is an alternative for a lot of other reasons and I love it dearly, but Codeberg is literally three donated servers in a single data center with some volunteers maintaining them. Some time ago the power went out and Codeberg was down for seven hours.

Please go ahead and join Codeberg, but manage your expectations.

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.

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.

This is a glaring and unethical omission. How did no one at a newspaper company think to mention this obvious conflict?

Haha. Hahahaha.

A private, billionaire-funded tribunal that uses AI to attack journalists. Is this Axel Springer’s definition of free speech and open debate?

Hahahahahah. Sorry, is this the first time the author learns about Springer? This all sounds so incredibly naive.

Axel Springer journalists with ethics and integrity should head for the nearest exit.

That's an oxymoron. Springer is absolute trash, powered by trash people. Has been and always will be.
