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].

  Codeberg does not forbid AI-generated code. It forbids AI-generated projects. You would know this if you read the policy.

    The specific language is:
    > projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools
    And "mostly" here seems egregiously undefined to me

    As much as I hate vibe-coded "slop". I feel like this is idiotic. I and most good engs with decades of experience do use AI now to type nearly all the actual "code", but we read EVERY SINGLE line, always fix and rework every feature before a commit to make it clean, optimized, and de-slopified.
    But still, we wouldn't be allowed to use codeberg because "generative ai" was used significantly for most lines of code?

    AFAICT they are dealing with resource exhaustion from slopcoding agents hammering them with copycat garbage. It's existential. If you use AI to help you thoughtfully write code, review it with humans, and respect their service, I don't think they will have a problem with you.
