Slippery slope. AI and crypto are legitimetely controversial new technologies, though both have their uses. I can't imagine "offline mapping application" or "Linux CLI utility" or "self-hostable web app" being categories of software that become controversial in the future. Besides, migrating a repo to another Forgejo instance is simple enough.

"As of July 2028, Linux-specific projects are now banned from Codeberg - the Linux kernel development community believes in harmful and racist concepts like meritocracy"
If it’s unclear to people, this is a direct reply to;
> I can't imagine "Linux CLI utility" being controversial
In the comment above. I do not share the quoted opinions.
But this is silly.I can't imagine any "offline mapping application" or "Linux CLI utility" or "self-hostable web app" will be produced without AI in any near future and be better for that.
