the fuck?

@mkljczk I'm surprised that one passed, it's a terrible idea

Same guy that pushed the anti-LLM amendment and a part of the whole dramafork of Gitea. Unexpected, but I'm not surprised.

cc @silverpill

fuck every privileged cis male who voted for this

@phnt @silverpill the anti-vibecoding amendment is basically just the no spam rule restated that’s been criticized on fedi for not being strict enough

@mkljczk W, fuck your ancap shilling

@phnt @silverpill @mkljczk I’m glad that “dramafork” happened, because 4 years after the fork (and several more years after the issue to migrate (which I can’t find right now) was opened), gitea is still hosted on github.

it is not acceptable for free software projects to force contributors to use proprietary software (namely github and discord) in order to contribute, and that’s almost reason enough for a fork by itself. apart from that, having a seperate proprietary “enterprise” version with more features (withholding features from the free version while still maintaining it) is a clear conflict of interest.

@mkljczk are you a fan of cryptocurrencies? why, and what does that have to do with privileged-cis-maleness? asking genuinely, am confused

@radex i’m not a fan of money in general tbh

@phnt @mkljczk It would be a stretch if they label mitra as a cryptocurrency project. But I am prepared to self-host Forgejo if that happens.

@mkljczk @silverpill That one is at least properly written and defined even thought I don't see it as an anti-spam rule. Meanwhile this one can be interpreted only purely on the vibes of the moderator deciding the fate of the repo/user, because there's no definition for anything.

@phnt @silverpill yeah it might also be interpreted as only applying to projects that actually harm the reputation of the platform hosting it, like the average 2022 NFT slop or straight up scam, it’s too vague

@silverpill @phnt @mkljczk you are not prepared

@lain @phnt @mkljczk What do you mean?

I haven't tried Forgejo yet, but I hosted a Gitea instance once. It was lightweight and easy to install

One of the few practical uses of cryptocurrencies is breaking the law. One of the more positive results of that is being able to buy DIY HRT in places where that would be to various extents illegal.

@timorl @mkljczk ah, i see

@timorl @mkljczk @radex except cryptocurrency is not anonymous, nor is privacy-focused, nor is it really decentralized. The fact you can buy stuff with it you otherwise would have a hard time, is a product of marketing and the fact that pigs don’t care, as it’s not handed to them on a silver platter, like transactions using visa or Mastercard are.

All very true, but also doesn’t change the fact that it in practice gets HRT to some people who need it. Cryptocurrency can both be a very bad idea, with a terrible execution and mostly bad social outcomes, as well as a load bearing system for DIY medical transitions, no contradiction there.

@timorl @mkljczk @radex that’s fair and I agree. Though in the context of this post I think it’s understandable that codeberg would ban them. „Cryptocurrency projects” does not mean they ban bitcoin. It means they ban grifters who are still trying to make crypto scams work

Haven’t read it myself, but a lot of the point in the agreeing replies seems to be that the “does not mean” is not really specified

Yeah it really feels like a ”none of us, rite?” kinda ban

@witix better ancap than transphobe lol

@nrab @timorl @mkljczk @radex The TOS say:

Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects.

Which if you interpret it literally means that anything that is even slightly related to cryptocurrencies is prohibited.

@phnt @mkljczk @radex @timorl I read that as “cryptocurrency related projects [that could harm the reputation of Codeberg]”. Cryptocurrency is specifically mentioned because it’s particularly nice for grifters, not that you can’t develop a ledger on Codeberg. But maybe you’re right in that cryptocurrency by itself is an example of such a project, in which case I understand the outrage.

@nrab @timorl @mkljczk @radex That is a very loaded and generalizing statement

@star @mkljczk @radex @timorl how so? Because I can elaborate on my comment. The fundamental architecture of every cryptocurrency is that it’s a public ledger. It’s literally the opposite of privacy. And how do you get your cryptocurrency? I know you’re not mining it, so you’re either getting it from someone, or getting it from an exchange. Both very easily traceable. Now, let’s look at any cryptocurrency mainstream enough to be accepted by a DIY market broker, and look at the network and its nodes. I wouldn’t call it decentralized when it’s literally impossible to contribute without a small datacenter worth of hardware.

@nrab @mkljczk @radex @timorl Monero exists and stands against all of these points. You seem to be extremely confident about something you do not know that much about?
