codeberg’s fine, but it’s not decentralized. It’s a single org running a forgejo instance somewhere in europe. It also banned AI generated code and crypto projects. If you’re not doing either of those, codeberg is possibly the easiest way to get off github.

The privacy community will be under fire from very powerful interests, so I also take all criticism with a mountain of salt.

What does this mean when the kernel allows AI contributions?

It’s not only LLMs that are problematic. Vision models, for example, present severe mass surveillance problems. Nor are tech bros only involved in LLMs.
