    A note to the developers in the project, if anyone is reading: your repositories are in violation of the new Codeberg policy that forbids AI-generated code [1].

      Is it on Codeberg? I looked self-hosted to me.

          Does this mean European governments have or will have an alternative(s) to GitHub as well?

            Forgejo (the Codeberg-maintained Gitea fork) is essentially becoming an EU-based community of familiar compatible alternatives to GitHub.

            It&#x27;s not quite a federated&#x2F;decentralised platform in the traditional sense, but the decentralised nature of Git makes it a close enough equivalent, &amp; the fact they&#x27;re built upon a shared platform makes them very easy to navigate. So setting up public instances for each government or org makes a lot of sense.

            Codeberg even maintains a list of alternative pubic Forgejo instances[0], some of which are explicitly pro-AI.

              That list leads to some interesting services as a lot of the instances are run by organisations that do other things too
