Some contributer got flagged by US sanctions based on their IP, I think
That's weird. Russians and Americans aren't sanctioned from working on projects together. The sanctions are mostly targeted towards industry and defense. Tucker Carlson works for Russian media and freely travels between the two countries. There has to be something more to this, like the IP came from a known state actor.
They got unbanned, but it eroded trust that it won't happen again
Ironically the US is more likely to drop the sanctions before Germany, where Codeberg is based.
Edit: They've gone self hosted. That makes more sense.
Viva la self-hosting!
Power to the people!
Welcome to the "free world".
Russia is free to fuck off out of Ukraine, simple as.
I’m sure there is a lot that the random developer who happened to be born in Russia can do about that.

Please elaborate? What exactly do you mean?
Let me give you an analogy.
I was born in the People's Republic of China. I immigrated to the United States of America when I was not even 10. I grew up in America, I grew attached to the principles of Freedom and Democracy. I went through the proper channels and I obtained Citizenship through the proper way. I am an American.
If someone were to tell me that I'm "not American", and that because I was "born Chinese, I must be Chinese for the rest of my life"; or, in your phrasing: "A Chinese person cannot become American" you'd be a xenophobe.
Gender is a social contruct. If a man wants to be a woman, or a woman wants to be a man, just let them. Its not denying that they have XX or XY chromosomes, that is what their biology says. But being a "Man" or "Woman" are labels society attributes to those chromosomes, just like the concept of Nationality.
TLDR: Please just let people be whoever they want to be. If you start attacking people's identity, nobody is gonna wanna talk to you. If you want to spread transphobia, you can go to twitter. Enjoy your nazi bar.
If you actually knew any trans people you might realize that they are often the most gender-nonconforming people. But instead you've imagined this image of the misogynistic stereotype-driven trans woman rather than bother to observe material reality.
Sigh. It really never ends with you people.
The replies go on and on, and on and on. It's non-stop. It's incessant.
You brow-beat people until they leave because they have better things to do.
I had a retort, but I deleted it. There's just no point at this point. All I can do is block and move on.
Thanks for reinforcing my views.
Oh goodie, more censorship.
Funny how this started by me pointing out mods abusing their power should not be taken seriously.
We really aren't allowed to say "men aren't women," lol. Anyone who tries to even suggest it gets censored.
It's clear who has an agenda and is abusing their power to control a narrative.
Censored for saying:
"People get banned for saying men aren't women. You don't have a point when mods abuse their power. Looks like my comment was censored for even pointing that out."
Literally just proving me right and the original commenter wrong every time mods abuse their power here.
