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].

  It’d make the most sense for the Dutch government (or DAWO) to have their own Forgejo instance if the goal is data sovereignty.
  edit: looks like this was originally the case and then they moved?

    clearly shows the need for federated forges, where you get to decide on your own rules but you still benefit from interacting with a broader set of collaborators.

    That's likely to end up Balkanized like the fediverse, where every instance has a list of other instances they refuse to federate with, often because politics or petty drama. Though to be fair to the fediverse, sometimes it's because those other instances are full of child porn and most people just don't want to see that.
    It amuses me that Mastodon Central uses corpo-friendly labels for the sites they won't federate with, e.g. (<a href="https://mastodon.social/about" rel="nofollow">https://mastodon.social/about)
    tsundere.love Suspended (Hate speech) you**.**ve Suspended (Inappropriate content)
    Whereas the more free-wheeling sites, like the ones Mastodon Central blocks, tell it exactly how it is: (<a href="https://tsundere.love/about" rel="nofollow">https://tsundere.love/about)

    A lot of such issues could likely be resolved by a better thought out protocol. There are certainly plenty of self righteous people who would refuse to federate purely on principle but more typically the issue is simply that one does not wish to be exposed to or traffic in any way the content in question. A well thought out self categorization system could largely address that need - you'd only need to refuse to peer with those who failed to apply it. AI also makes any such effort easier than ever.

    Doesn't work. People from different geographical areas just can't agree on categories. So even correctly applied labels are useless.
    You'd think "no lolis" would be reasonable. It falls apart when people look 14 into 50s, to you and your local police, but not to themselves.
