@pat_dev@social.linux.pizza @gedankenstuecke@scholar.social @codefloe@social.tchncs.de Um, literally the reason I'm interested in using Codeberg is ethical. If I only cared about technology I'd probably just go use GitHub because it's the default option and "everyone" is there. As for this particular thread, you started it by publicly pointing at Codeberg's vote on LLM policy and making it a sales pitch for your own service. If you're going to dish it out, you'd better take it.

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social @gedankenstuecke@scholar.social @codefloe@social.tchncs.de Dish out what? I already stand my ground. I didn't do any sales pitch as CodeFloe has nothing to sell. I am not sure when this fact finally settles. CodeFloe is not a commercial platform. Though promoting anything else than CB itself seems to get people on fire while they could just be super chill and cool if they are already at their happy/perfect place? If you want to phrase it in more provocative way, CB should even be happy that the users they don't wanna have anyway got shown an easy way to migrate off the platform without too much hassle while still allowing their code to live on a GDPR-supported platform that doesn't sell their data, doesn't judge their tools and their origin. #codefloe #codeberg

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social @pat_dev@social.linux.pizza @codefloe@social.tchncs.de personally, I just don't see the niche for a "freemium" service that is "GitHub but on EU servers" as it feels like the worst of both worlds: You're neither a customer with the rights that such a relationship would entail, but neither do you have a right to decision making. It just smells like the same infrastructure capture we've seen with literally every free service that's corpo-run.
