Yes, you are wrong. Communities limit the content they want to host. They always do. Cryptocurrency software are not people.

Community standards are not authoritarian. Good grief. You have talked yourself into a corner with that wooly thinking.

There’s no ingroup or outgroup here. Cryptocurrency isn’t people, and even cryptocurrency developers are perfectly able to host other projects there.

Community standards exist everywhere. Censorship implies the power to silence people, and in no way is Codeberg able to prevent people from sharing their project widely. They are an intentionally small platform supporting an open internet. This is no different than their long lived restriction on proprietary software. Which is again no different from Debian restricting what goes on their repos.

You can run proprietary cryptocurrency software on your own computer with both Debian and Forgejo (Codeberg’s forge software), but neither project will host it for you.

Unlike your post?

You are not restricted in your use of their software. Don’t make shit up. Go try and ask Debian to include a proprietary program in their main repo and see how far you get.

No, its a terms of use for what goes on their servers. Every open source project has that.

You are free to take Forgejo, their open source forge software, and run it on your own computer without any restrictions based on the free software license.

Codeberg runs on and develops Forgejo - a lightweight open source forge anyone can take and run themselves.

That’s a big wall of text that never gets around to supporting your claim.

What out-group is punished for their identity on Codeberg? Because a cryptocurrency developer is allowed to host other projects there.

Calling community rules about what can be hosted on their platform fascism is absurd. Every platform does that, community or commercial platforms alike. You seem to care about fascism but you are watering the term down and that is dangerous.

I am confused. Do you think cryptocurrencies are people? or do you think excluding certain kinds of projects from your community is somehow fascism?

Nobody is excluded from using codeberg based on their identity alone. Every community and internet platform has rules of what you can bring to it and what you are able to do there.

Unlike github, being excluded from codeberg hosting doesn’t really cost you anything because they don’t intend to be a walled garden.

Its great that they are not trying to be a universal replacement for Github but something more focussed to their community. That will encourage others to spin up their own Forgejo instances and that decentralisation is a feature not a bug.

They don’t need to host everything and everybody. That kills community. They are even spending money on developing activity pub federation, just like here.

The real danger has always been the database.

When even the LAPD are too embarrassed to be using your shit.

Heck, even paying for full comprehensive insurance, you still come out ahead by buying on a loan and keeping it for more than 3 years.

The crux is that decently priced loans are denied to the people who actually need it, but leases are not.

Has media ever been capable of criticising Apple? They have always been the tech media darling from what I can recall.

Around here, people typically lease their phones. The numbers are intentionally obtuse and confusing because the lease is 2 years and then you can “buy it out” for a (still rather large) sum or roll it into a new model perpetually. You also get a discount from your service plan for leasing, putting the math outside your average adults ability.

When a company says it has a “solution” for the high price, they means they have a “solution” for the big number on the sticker. Not that they actually care about affordability.

These age laws are about indemnifying the platforms from any blame when kids are harmed and setting up better identification for their surveillance capitalism through age verification systems.

The alternative would have been actually cracking down on the algorims that drive extremism and paying moderators again (you know, actually making things better). But “banning” teenagers means that next time a kid kills themselves, meta can point out that the kid broke the rules by drawing a mustache on their face to trick the age verification system. Its the kids fault for sneaking in.

You almost got it. Its not the healthcare and social safety net that made them fascists, its the in-group (that gets it) and the out group (that gets evil) that made them fascists. A modern party that wants healthcare for white people and forced emigration for brown people are not socialist, they are far right.

Indeed.

Its not far left to want nice things for your favoured in-group. That’s right.
