The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem.
What a stupid, ignorant, harmful take. I shouldn’t need to explain how or why theft, plagiarism, poor code quality, or uncountable other factors contribute to a broadly objective standard of “good” and “not good.” In fact, it is more “acceptable” versus “dangerous.”
Not only that, but it is a free service with limited resources by a group that support open source. If people dump a lot of private repos that will fill up space quickly with no OS’S support.
LLM generated code will also fill up space quickly as projects are often created rapidly and frequently and abandoned.
It’s their house and you’re their guest. You should be polite and follow their rules.

The false equivalence here is intolerable.

I moved my projects there and donate monthly. I support these human-centric policies and they are a major reason I choose to support Codeberg.
