The most insightful part is:

> [From CodeBerg] It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don’t realize that they don’t actually have a community around them.

> This is out of touch with how most free software gets made. The majority of FOSS developers are one-man-shows

Yes! And LLMs can be valuable to solo devs!

> The decisions did go through Codeberg’s own Assembly 2026, which is more process than most platforms bother with, and yet as an ordinary user I found out about it the way probably most people else did...

I agree this is troubling.

There's a lot of LLM dislike that verges into a potentially problematic ideology. I know: how a tool is used, not the tool itself, etc, but I'm unsure that that kind of approach is visible to CodeBerg. I write open source, and closed source, and I am a responsible developer who uses AI and gets more done, better. I wish I was welcome there.

When I read this quote I also had to think of this tante person on Mastodon urging their thousands of followers to vote for a certain thing. If one actor like this can possibly impact a small community this way, I'm on the cautious to sceptical side about that community project's future.
