@sugar@snug.moe @soller@floss.social Oh but they can. Even FOSS communities have made bad chocies from making a terms of service require only people over 16 can even thouch a project, to dropping X86_64 V2 and older support, and whatever other controversial thing has people riled up. Just because there isnt a profit motivation doesnt mean they cant do something that makes people upset.

    @Mirppc@mastodon.social @soller@floss.social true ​:sylveon_uwu:​ that said, as far age requirement on codeberg is concerned, fae thinks it's unlikely unless eu laws change to mandate codeberg to verify users' age (github requires users to be at least 13 years old due to coppa, however coppa doesn't need to be complied with for entities outside of united states, and codeberg is in germany) (mastodon.social does require users to be at least 16 years old, due to gdpr, however the requirement in gdpr that mandates that only applies to "information society services", which fae doubts code hosting services like codeberg are, and considering microsoft didn't make being 16 years old a requirement for using github, doubtful microsoft sees it that way either) the thing about dropping x86_64-v2 is mostly inapplicable to codeberg, as it's not a software repository also, it's worth noting about x86_64-v3 requirement, there is only one distro that made it a requirement: rhel 10 (which is owned by ibm), and that requirement is so controversial that almalinux (a fork of rhel) went out of the way to not have it: almalinux.org/blog/2025-05-13-epel-10-kitten-v2/ in general however, if codeberg screws up badly (mistakes happen, that's okay), fae would expect people working on it to try to undo whatever happened after realizing that something was a mistake
