Well it looks like Codeberg is following the footsteps of SourceHut. I mean, I always knew that they would ban people for promoting Nazism, but at least that has a clear definition. "Far-right" is extremely vague and according to the highlighted text in the first image, it seems like they are standing against right-wingers in general. Are they going to ban people for having moderately conservative views, not being against capitalism, being pro-gun, or being into conspiracy theories? Given, that the CEO is also friends with Drew DeVault, this does seem likely.

It seems like this blog post was in response to some harassment campaigns against certain project maintainers, but the final paragraph is extremely vague. It implies that they might purge any "far-right" (or simply "right-wing") user off of their platform. Again, the CEO is friends with Drew DeVault who goes out of his way to eliminate anyone he disagrees with from the FLOSS community, including moderate right-wingers, even if they promote those views off-site.

At this point, it's probably best that you just self-host your projects, if you can.

Oh. It turns out that this was just in response to an anonymous spam post that just said "NIGGER BALLS" which got enough people triggered that they had to write this lengthy blog post in response. I kid you not.

The problem for them, is they've let a nobody get them to be stupid. Now a lot of nobodys are going to try having fun.

@souldessin @beardalaxy I'm pretty sure that whoever posted that anonymous spam saw the FOSDEM photo of the Codeberg CEO with Drew DeVault and just wanted to test their limits.
