I think they’re great for what they’re doing, but, truthfully, any “free use” system which has non-zero operating costs for bandwidth and storage is going to have potential problems that can’t be waived away with simple policy statements. 8 billion people on this planet, maybe only 80 million coders, maybe only 8 million active in creation of projects that would end up on Codeberg, but AI probably tripled that number to at least 24 million people, and those people (including myself) are making 3-300x larger projects with AI, not only because they can now, but because AI needs that extra documentation to successfully implement larger projects… just like teams of human programmers do, but AI makes it faster with less humans in the loop.
On the “people count” Github cites 180 million “individual users” but, how many of those are work/home/alt/other accounts of the same person?
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say with arbitrary numbers pulled out of the air about the amount of “coders” and potential users on codeberg.
A lot of people go to codeberg to get away from big tech.
All their policy is saying is that they don’t want vibe coded projects on the platform. They would rather their storage and bandwidth go to real people, not dead-end vibe coded slop projects.
AI generated code is verbose, incredibly verbose, as you stated yourself… and a lot of the time verbose and bad.
This policy allows them to get rid of the worst offenders and point to the policy as their reason.
