We also explicitly do not tolerate:

Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects.

That's particularly funny. Nothing harms your reputation as much as policies inspired by stupid ragebait like web3isgoinggreat.com

@happyborg No, I think only members of Codeberg organization can vote. I didn't even know this is being considered

@silverpill @happyborg they had an open forum discussion about it three years ago and they were upset when people showed up and argued against banning it lol

@silverpill I saw that their rules prohibit cryptocurrency-related projects. Since Mitra has a built-in Monero donation module, I'm afraid they'd consider it a cryptocurrency-related project too.

@lutindiscret @happyborg I don't feel that mitra is unwelcome there, my interactions with Codeberg team have been mostly pleasant. But I also don't want to count on favorable interpretations.

I didn't ask, but somebody else mentioned mitra in a discussion 7 months ago, and was ignored: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2184#issuecomment-8629041

@caohuak What's worse, Monero is not just a cryptocurrency. It's cryptocurrency for criminals!

@silverpill @caohuak I heard people buy illegal hrt drugs with it

@lolitechengineer @silverpill @caohuak maybe they have good intentions but the proposal was so broadly worded I don’t think you could assume they don’t mean what they say

@silverpill @happyborg @lutindiscret i eventually got a codeberg account but stuff like this is why i put it off for so long.

being stuck between codeberg and sourcehut is certainly a rock and a hard place.

You guys ever consider using Gitea?

@matty Gitea is not interested in federation, but for me it is the most important feature.

@silverpill @matty They said they were going to do that years ago then they gave up? WTF

@icedquinn @happyborg @lutindiscret @silverpill Spin up a Gitea instance, and disable search engine indexing with robots.txt, it is not that hard. Once scrapers find you, geoblock them with geoip2, or kill off website access without an account. If you aren't hosting a large project, you can afford to be bold with countermeasures.

@phnt @happyborg @lutindiscret @silverpill implying thats a stack of cognitive burden that is worth my time instead of the thing i'm actually working on thats taking up all of that.

why yes i want to do even more nerd shit instead of watercoloring or cocaine.

@icedquinn @happyborg @lutindiscret @silverpill That just means you aren't yet annoyed enough by Codeberg or DeVault, which is fine. I'm saying that selfhosting is a reasonable-ish option when you get fed up with other options.

@phnt @happyborg @lutindiscret @silverpill they are both annoying and the usual choice taken is to just go back to github because the LLM gang is going to steal your code either way.

@verita84 @silverpill @matty It originated in Gitea with a non-functional activitypub prototype that is still there, then the dramafork happened and not much happened since besides the fact that it switched to ForgeFed.
