Yeah, only "cryptobros" could be upset about an open source hosting site deciding to officially ban "anything they think makes them look bad", and using an entire field of software development as an example apparently based on the popular misconception that it's a scam. This certainly isn't a sign that any other projects could abruptly find themselves on the wrong side of someone's opinion of whether they're "bad" someday.
I've got a blockchain based project - hosted on Codeberg no less - that has nothing like an ICO or other get rich quick scheme attached, it's about as sincere of an open transaction processing platform as you can get.
But a quick read will come away with "this is a Cryptocurrency project" - so... am I banned? Even worse, although I started it 8 years ago, I made a quick pass with Claude code recently to clean things up and implement some of the lagging parts... now I'm double-banned from Codeberg, right?
I'm glad they have principles, but one-word labels are really inadequate to separate "good" from "bad" - it's almost always more complicated than that.
So Codeberg had banned vibe codes projects and cryptocurrency projects, and you have a project that is neither vibe coded nor involving cryptocurrency?
It's like pornography - they'll know it when they see it.
