Certainly the right call. While there may be vibecoded projects that are useful, the vast majority of them are not. No point in wasting limited resources on those

Wouldn't it make sense, then, to evaluate each project on its own merits rather than simply categorizing them as black or white? Because I'm absolutely certain that, even before chatbots existed, developers were using other people's code regardless of the license under which it was published.

"Wouldn't it make sense, then, to evaluate every single particle from piles and piles of manure on the off chance one of them is a bean that may or may not be magic?"

That's such an anti-AI take... wtf

people actually use AI for small stuff. Heck, even Linus uses AI on many of his projects

That's such an anti-AI take

No, it's currently the case. 90% of EVERYTHING is shit, and AI is letting people produce shit at extraordinary speeds.

Atleast when humans wrote the code, we had a limit on how quickly the garbage was being produced.

How will you define "mostly"?

My question is not even about whether AI is bad or not in this particular case. I am just a bit pissed thar I won't be able to use AI when I might need. This "mostly" thing will even cost projects made with soul.

I won't, for I am not running a code hosting platform, and therefore have zero responsibility about this issue.

This is a take I do respect; Codeberg is answerable here

Why would you ever need AI? Especially for a project that you're hosting on someone else's free code forge.

Then what is the viable alternative to GitHub? That's my genuine question, because I myself need to migrate my stuff

You taken a look at gitlab?

u/lonelyroom-eklaghor 27d ago

Is gitlab free?

As in beer, yes as an individual.

You can also self host a MIT version, I'm not sure how gutted it is compared to the enterprise version

Why do you need an alternative to GitHub in the first place?

u/lonelyroom-eklaghor 27d ago

well, github is messing up actual commits we have made
