Codeberg is different.

Codeberg is a non-profit.

Moreover, it is a *democratic* non-profit. You can (and, if you actively use Codeberg, should) become a member and you will have an equal vote and a fair say in the running of the association, and in any decisions we make about what to offer and what not to offer.

This democratic right is guaranteed to you not only by our constitution, but by German law, which guarantees that the membership as a whole has the ultimate decision-making power.

There was an article about moving to Codeberg on the orange website yesterday, and out of interest to get an impression of what average programmers think of the idea of moving, I took at look at the comments. (Yeah, I know โ€ฆ)

Iโ€™m going to write here my thoughts on a general impression of the comment thread as a whole. (Rather than respond to individuals.)

An extended deadline is a dead deadline.

'โ€œ#Sora was quietly a content moderation nightmare,โ€ said Alon Yamin, the CEO of #Copyleaks, which has researched problematic content on the platform. He warns, however, that misinformation isnโ€™t going away with Soraโ€™s departure: โ€œHarmful #deepfakes and manipulated media will just migrate to platforms that are even more opaque and difficult to audit.โ€'
