Pretending to run an inclusive git hosting service for FOSS and then attacking your own users because their code is the wrong type of algorithm isn't politics, it's just being an asshole.

Kinda seems like you're doing the exact thing the parent comment is talking about, except in addition to laundering your disagreement through the lens of "politics", you're just adding the word "asshole".
Run your own Codeberg instance with blackjack and hookers, it's open source.
You know what, forget the Codeberg instance!
i'm sure the guy you're replying to also wants to "legalize comedy"
At that point I'm running gitlab. It's better anyway.
Unless you really need some of its features, self hosting gitlab always felt like an exercise in maximizing hosting bills.

Are they though? I see "We are more than just Git hosting: Our community is ..." right in the highlight box on their landing page.

Nope. It's not "attacking own user base". These comments are ridiculous now. It's safeguarding a open project by removing scammers and abusers that exploit it. Scammer should host their own or use github.
Banning projects that haven't done anything wrong except implement algorithms that the Karen committee disagrees with is clearly an attack.

If they want to ban scammers then why don't they just ban scammers instead of a blanket policy that bans legitimate projects as well?

Implying that anyone who makes crypto or AI projects is somehow a scammer/abuser?

They are not trying to run an inclusive service.

Their own users voted for this.
