| As with the AI ban this was a community decision done by a majority vote. It seems that most people commenting or writing articles in the last few days don't have a Codeberg account or never visit the forum. |

| "the community" being some tiny subset of busybodies out of an OOMs-larger body of users that don't want to be bothered? Real question, I don't know anything about Codeberg or its community. |

| ▲ | alloyed 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | iirc, it's a consumer co-op. So think of it as a vote of all users willing to pay for the membership to the service, who (correspondingly) are more likely to be power users/"activist" in the "activist investor" sense. This can be contrasted with a private company, which will often have a "activist investor", the actual owner! | | |
| ▲ | iamnothere an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Given that the actual number of paying users is probably low, it sounds like it would be relatively cheap to disrupt policy for someone with deep pockets. | |
| ▲ | masafej536 an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | this is a failure mode of consumer co-op that never occured to me. I thought the idea was bullet proof. | | |

| ▲ | trentor 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Codeberg is a community steered project. If participating isn't something you're interested in, it's probably not the right fit for you. There are other Forgejo hosts (you could even be one yourself) where you can be the king of your own castle. | |
| ▲ | sergiotapia 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | This sounds like a very dumb decision to you and I and most, but see you don't use codeberg. I don't use codeberg. So it's totally fine to poke fun, and totally fine for them to do whatever they want. We aren't part of that community! | | |

| I think their own community can make their own rules. My only thought in doing so the description of what they represent would then be subject to those rules. They state "The mission of Codeberg e.V. is to build and maintain a free collaboration platform for creating, archiving, and preserving code and to document its development process." It seems like they might now need to elaborate that they mean "free as in beer". |

| putting aside the saying that goes something like "51% of the animal population votes to eat the other 49%", it takes a special kind of person to be both aware of such a vote happening and also care to participate in it. codeberg has outed themselves as an unserious undertaking. they will not be known for anything else now. |

| I have an account and I donate regularly. I was not made aware a vote was happening. |
