    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].

      Did you actually read through that post you linked? You realize not every project that was ever touched by a LLM is being thrown off? Read the &quot;Some early, but informal guidelines&quot; particularly, as you&#x27;ve seemingly missed that.

      They&#x27;re targeting slop and essentially spam, not everything that could possibly have been built by LLMs.

        Quoting from the post:

            &gt; If you see yourself on this list, you don&#x27;t need to move right away, but
    there might be other places that better fit your needs:

    - Projects written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs
        All of the commits I browsed here seem to be LLM-assisted, so these projects are in this category. The policy being fuzzy is in itself a problem - &quot;likely to be tolerated&quot; is not a great policy to have your entire government depend on.

        Personally, the refusal on &quot;Projects heavily tied to the LLM ecosystem, e.g. LLM-written tools to ease LLM usage&quot; is enough reason, as that&#x27;s a good chunk of what I&#x27;ve been working on.

          &gt; &quot;enough reason for me to move out&quot;

          And that&#x27;s not a bad thing. That&#x27;s why they are communicating, so if you feel that is you and you&#x27;re uncomfortable about it, you can move out and it&#x27;s a win win.

          Not everything should service all of us, especially not the smaller services. It&#x27;s OK for places to have their own rules and them being upfront about this is a *good* thing.
