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.

But can you IMAGINE if it was the reverse?
Think of how different things would be if the far left pinged a small community of right-wingers with shocking and horrifying words.
Consequences would never be the same...
@theorytoe @dcc @gabriel The president is friends with Drew DeVault.
@theorytoe @dcc @gabriel These idiots think that the FLOSS movement has always been a far-left movement when that has never been the case.
its just a matter of time till the pendulum swings back (as we have already seen in the corporate world) and this behavior becomes more and more frowned upon.
I think also we are at a point where a lot of my own generation is starting to finish the school/college grind and start actually integrating themselves into the industry so theres bound to be some interesting form of change in the near future

Except so many tech companies are still doing mass layoffs that these graduates are working at McDonald's or going back to school for a different degree/cert.
that is true, however I find more and more amongst people I know that have gotten a foothold in the industry, that more of the talented workforce is going to smaller companies due to the higher guaranteed stability and pay
maybe its just the perspective that I have but I find that more and more people are less interested in working for the multi-billion dollar companies because of their insane profit optimization efforts
@theorytoe @dcc @gabriel I think that depends on where you live. All the small tech businesses here are mostly IT, not CS. Though ideally, I think you should have knowledge in both.
>I think that depends on where you live
fair enough
I'll find it interesting nonetheless to see where the industry goes, because I think more people are realizing that CS is dipping and may just do a degree switch (like myself, through before I started school) just because the guarantee for employment seems to be falling at an alarming rate.
Maybe the demand for higher quality work in the midst of a stagnating/falling market will leave some wiggle room for opportunists. Of course thats overly optimistic, but not out of the question persay
