Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn't returned to follow community rules.

Here's the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It's a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don't self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

I think the "regret" post misses an entire point, that Codeberg doesn't want to be the place where AI stuff is hosted. Maybe it wasn't clear in their communications but it always seemed to me the copyright and resource stuff was more of a justification of something they wanted to do anyways.

Also everyone suggesting AI should just be treated as a tool comfortably ignores the externalized costs. Maybe there's some "yeah it sucks but we can't to anything and it so we just use it" and that's it. I'm so tired of lengthy AI-is-just-a-tool justifications that are omitting the central point.

The article seems correct with the "Codeberg's reputation" clause though. That one smells bad, not sure why they felt the need to add it.

If you're running a site that anyone from the public can sign up to, resources are not some afterthought you add to your argument like pepper. Resources are everything. I have been on this Internet since NCSA Mosaic; look up the term "hugged to death".
