Prohibiting fraud or infrastructure abuse is one thing, but declaring entire categories of lawful software harmful to Codeberg’s reputation is another. They've ironically tanked Codeberg's reputation far more from these policy changes than any projects in that category could have possibly. After these changes, it is difficult for any business, or any project seeking stable infrastructure, to trust that its codebase won’t become unacceptable after the next member vote.

Probably for the kind of users codeberg wants to have, this boosts their reputation.

Perhaps, but it's important to keep in mind not even a majority of Codeberg users voted for this. A majority of their privileged voters did, which is a small minority of the actual users, and it wasn't unanimous amongst the voters. Over 30% of their voters did not agree with this choice. I'm not building crypto or vibecoded projects and this still makes me seriously question if I could trust Codeberg's current majority voters to not simply target other minority software categories without real justification just because they didn't personally approve of it.
