Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn't returned to follow community rules.

Here's the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It's a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don't self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

Ah yes, if you wanted a say you should've paid €50 to join something nobody ever told you about. How very open and community spirited.

  • 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.
