I can see them having problems / frustration with terabytes of junk showing up 10x faster than it used to because people have the new text generation tools and are just spewing massive “projects” of no value with them, and I would assume when they find an account that’s full of this junk they want to trim it out of their running expenses (consider that they’re also going to be crawled by stealth trainers who read everything they have publicly available)… but, then… no matter how they go about identifying “junk” there will be false positives.
I have some projects I initially wrote over 20 years ago that I like to look back at and tweak around a little every now and then… even if nobody has looked at a project for years, that doesn’t really mean nobody cares about it - so algorithms for activity are going to hit stuff like that.
I hope it’s nothing automatic, i have a few project that i barelly begin because that heat wave killed my motivation so i am waiting for winter lol, i have all of them on my disk IIRC, but it would be an hassle to re-upload them especially because i have them linked on other platforms like Modrinth :P
I just don’t see how an open resource like Codeberg could possibly economically make even the smallest of dents in their slop problems without using some automated methods themselves. Even if it’s entirely human driven decisions, they’ll be making mistakes. Will they be like Google and render themselves deaf to appeals?

Considering the modern prices of HDDs, they would lose more money because of AI slop probably
