There's nothing wrong with solo projects that exist to scratch an itch.

It's just that Codeberg is not a place for them. Each project adds a bit of administrative overhead, and they don't have resources to maintain infrastructure on the scale of Github. And this has been the case from the very beginning.

I'm a bit amazed by this storm in a teacup, TBH.

Yeah. Nice straw man.
This is not at all what this is all about.
Here's what they claim this is about instead:

With a very weird definition of "protecting"

If they don't have the resources, it's fine. They can ask for payments or ask me to leave or whatever.
But instead they ban everybody using LLMs. Totally different thing.
