Nope, but I thought about moving hosting (or to Forgejo) because of (a) GitHub's issues, and (b) I like the idea of using an OSS code forge

I suppose since Codeberg is a totally free non-profit for OSS projects, it makes it more reasonable for them to ban code for idealogical differences (as opposed to legal).

But if it were a paid service, this would not inspire confidence that it's a place to host my company's code.

It's less about paying for a service than thinking that you are a welcome member of a community and then suddenly finding out that you aren't.

Downvoters: if someone indignantly announces they are leaving a service in a manner that suggests its a loss for the service, finding out if they are a paying customer - and in this case, one that can vote on the subject at hand - adds to the discussion.

Also you only have a vote if you pay.

You misunderstand what Codeberg is.

Codeberg has 0 paying customers. It is a non-profit providing services for free and not a business.

Membership in the non-profit requires fee paid by EU bank transfer and gives voting rights on questions like this but is separate accounting from use of the free sevices.

All this is explained front-and center or codeberg.org.

I'm sure they didn't even have a repository there to begin with.
