The reasons seem clear and fair. Good that they decided this, makes it easier for all of us.

I use sourcehut for my projects but I also have projects on codeberg. Luckily since I have never (knowingly) bothered with these "tools" this does not really concern me.

I am glad codeberg has the guts to make these decisions. They know what they want, and it makes no sense for volunteer project to try to host everything anyway.

Forgot to add that ethics in computing are important and always have been. Its nice that codeberg thinks about the ethics behind tooling and such.

I'm not sure if they thought too much about the ethics here... at least I hope they didn't...

If the only main conclusion of their "ethics" is to ban the one single tool that is most helpful to enable non-native speakers, people with disabilities, and other groups – the only remaining question is whether they're outright evil, or just ignorant. And I really hope it's the latter; though I'm afraid there's not too much left to hope for, given that this fact is neither new nor unknown, and has been discussed in similar debates before.
