Yeah, only “cryptobros” could be upset about an open source hosting site deciding to officially ban “anything they think makes them look bad”, and using an entire field of software development as an example apparently based on the popular misconception that it’s a scam. This certainly isn’t a sign that any other projects could abruptly find themselves on the wrong side of someone’s opinion of whether they’re “bad” someday.
The AI code thing is geared towards vibe coded projects. Using AI to clean it doesn’t mean it’s vibe coded.
Codeberg e.V. members voted to ban projects that “mostly” consist of code written by generative AI tools.
You can argue, it’s hard to prove that etc, etc… But you need to remember that they have limited funds/storage and if vibe coders start using that storage with dead-end projects, that can be a problem.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say with arbitrary numbers pulled out of the air about the amount of “coders” and potential users on codeberg.
A lot of people go to codeberg to get away from big tech.
All their policy is saying is that they don’t want vibe coded projects on the platform. They would rather their storage and bandwidth go to real people, not dead-end vibe coded slop projects.
AI generated code is verbose, incredibly verbose, as you stated yourself… and a lot of the time verbose and bad.
This policy allows them to get rid of the worst offenders and point to the policy as their reason.
So Codeberg had banned vibe codes projects and cryptocurrency projects, and you have a project that is neither vibe coded nor involving cryptocurrency?
Sure are a lot of cryptobros upset about this on lemmy

Sure, but it is a scam, and I also don’t want child porn projects on my hosting platform.
I’m surprised to see lemmy users defending liberticide and authoritarian decisions.
