What a moronic take, and good of Codeberg to kick those assholes out.

Its great that they are not trying to be a universal replacement for Github but something more focussed to their community. That will encourage others to spin up their own Forgejo instances and that decentralisation is a feature not a bug.
They don't need to host everything and everybody. That kills community. They are even spending money on developing activity pub federation, just like here.
I'm not familiar with how this federation is supposed to work specifically, but does that mean in theory that you could still contribute to projects that do contain cryptocurrency through a Codeberg account?
Well not any more (your question is a bit bizarre).
I dislike Codeberg's decision.
But I would not even think of calling it fascism or censorship.
I just dislike it.
So, I move on.
And due to the fact that I do not like to run into the next dead end, I decided to self host my repositories now. The only way to be assured that tha rules do not ever change in a way that I do not like.
Yes, the overhead is substantial.
It's the trade off I chose and accept.
Is it facism if the community voted for it?
Is there no git hosting service left that isn't pushing censorship and fascism? I think I should just start self-hosting at this point.
Aw, is someone sad that a nonprofit won't spend their own money to host shitty pump-and-dump tools destroying the environment? Little pissbaby need a minute to compose themself?
Edit: By the way, speaking of fascism, OP...
Edit 2: Just want to say I find it immensely funny that the two people in this thread bitching about this democratic decision and calling it "fascist" and "authoritarian", respectively, have posted an image of Germany captioned "The aggressor nation?" and knowingly, intentionally continue to fund neo-Nazis in Sweden.
It's always projection from the "woke moralists!!" crowd.
knowingly, intentionally continue to fund neo-Nazis in Sweden.
Am I understanding you correctly that you're accusing anyone who continues to use Mullvad as someone who supports neo-Nazis in Sweden?
If you know about this and continue to pay for it given viable alternatives, yes, you knowingly, willingly are. They wrote a whole spiel justifying it, so I'm going to point it out.
Flamman reports that [Berntsson's] was the largest single private donation to any Swedish party in 2025, and on its own represented 72 percent of the [neo-Nazi] party's income for the year.
Excellent research! Thank you for sharing this. It's good to know.

I dislike scam money as much as the next person. I do not, however, dislike cryptography. There’s a really good common in the thread about elliptic curve cryptography not having a place on Codeberg anymore and I think that’s valid. I don’t even know if OpenSSL could have a place on Codeberg with this decision. Their nonprofit, their rules. Just not very libre-minded and definitely sets a bad precedent. And before someone tells me Microsoft actively censors GitHub, this isn’t a whataboutism thread. It just reduces my trust in a supposedly open collective.
Exactly why I ban codeberg now.
crypto? you mean like fake money for laundering?
git is decentralized for a reason. In the age of robots and cheap VPSs, if you really want a vanity web page / code forge to show your code, it is like an afternoon setting things up and the robot will do most of it for you. Yes, it has always been time to self-host your own code. I don't bother with a code forge, but I do have gitweb/gitolite running for a very light weight setup to push and display code
Codeberg runs on and develops Forgejo - a lightweight open source forge anyone can take and run themselves.
it is like an afternoon
Heck, even less, just have to setup docker on the VPS, pull the Forgejo image and run it and it's basically all done, just have to personalize it and maybe setup some permissions if you want more users
Bye Shirley!
