Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn’t returned to follow community rules.
Here’s the original topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386
and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer
The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub. If people won’t be able to transfer ALL their repos over, not concerning themselves with what is compatible, that would be substantially harder to achieve.
Is it? Or are you deciding that for them?
What else can it possibly be?
