Proposal for Assembly 2026: Disallow cryptocurrency projects #1254 Context: Context: - https://forum.codeberg.org/d/82-taking-a-stance-against-cryptocurrency - Codeberg/Community#794 - Codeberg/Community#2184 Need to be careful with wording like this. If you are going to provide examples you need to make it clear it is not an exhaustive list: "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as - but not limited to - cryptocurrency related projects." The text is now as-is because it was send out for votes. Small clarifications can be made afterwards by Presidium or Board. The whole spirit of the vote makes it clear this is a "not limited to" case. Is there a definition of "cryptocurrency-related" somewhere? Fk hell I just moved to a forge that banned bitcoin! Is this a joke??? https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html Please explain how do cryptocurrency projects harm codeberg's reputation https://forum.codeberg.org/d/82-taking-a-stance-against-cryptocurrency "The page you requested could not be found." Codeberg/Community#794 Codeberg/Community#2184 These domains are strongly associated with fraudulent activities and high-risk investments Not all of them are about it. First of all, in context of so called code forges, this is a tech. What kind of headache do you have, that you judge the whole group by isolated cases, and block ANY such projects, even those that have real technical value? When some projects were transferred over, you started behaving strangely. No due date set. No dependencies set Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
