  • Really a long time coming pain point is comfortably sharing between family. I think the new workflows will be the way eventually. I plan on using it to auto add pictures with the recognised faces of family members to a “Family Photos” album as they are uploaded, and allow everything else to stay unshared by default for each user.

  • There’s no ingroup or outgroup here. Cryptocurrency isn’t people, and even cryptocurrency developers are perfectly able to host other projects there.

    Community standards exist everywhere. Censorship implies the power to silence people, and in no way is Codeberg able to prevent people from sharing their project widely. They are an intentionally small platform supporting an open internet. This is no different than their long lived restriction on proprietary software. Which is again no different from Debian restricting what goes on their repos.

    You can run proprietary cryptocurrency software on your own computer with both Debian and Forgejo (Codeberg’s forge software), but neither project will host it for you.

  • That’s a big wall of text that never gets around to supporting your claim.

    What out-group is punished for their identity on Codeberg? Because a cryptocurrency developer is allowed to host other projects there.

    Calling community rules about what can be hosted on their platform fascism is absurd. Every platform does that, community or commercial platforms alike. You seem to care about fascism but you are watering the term down and that is dangerous.

  • I am confused. Do you think cryptocurrencies are people? or do you think excluding certain kinds of projects from your community is somehow fascism?

    Nobody is excluded from using codeberg based on their identity alone. Every community and internet platform has rules of what you can bring to it and what you are able to do there.

    Unlike github, being excluded from codeberg hosting doesn’t really cost you anything because they don’t intend to be a walled garden.

  • Its great that they are not trying to be a universal replacement for Github but something more focussed to their community. That will encourage others to spin up their own Forgejo instances and that decentralisation is a feature not a bug.

    They don’t need to host everything and everybody. That kills community. They are even spending money on developing activity pub federation, just like here.
