The problem with Codeberg now is that there is a spectrum of AI usage between manually coding and AI slop that Codeberg chooses to ignore with their new policy.
I get it that's their platform and their choice, and at some point I even looked for ways to support them financially if that meant I could migrate all my repos from GitHub - I wouldn't mind paying for my use, "vibe coded" or not - but an intransigent LLM ban creates uncertainty for many of my active projects, and I can't consider them a viable alternative to GitHub anymore.
So sure, I'll take 3h of GH actions downtime a month over a platform ban. I'm sure I'm not alone there.
So, you should be fine with the measures against scraping, then?
That doesn't affect me, but you can't eat your cake and have it too. I'd rather have open source content actually open and easy to access, but GitHub has an availability issue and they're trying to address it, so I don't see this as a hostile move.
I'm sure if codeberg was nearly as popular as github, they'd be forced to restrict some clones too. Their current load is unprecedented, even for their standards.
