Edit:

and just for good measure, the actual text of the ToS, with the change highlighted:

You must not share any content that's expressing hate or encouraging violence towards a person or group for any reason. We also explicitly do not tolerate:

• Discriminatory behaviour towards and promoting oppression, especially of marginalized groups on grounds of ethnicity, gender, disability, nationality, education, age, and religion.
• Violent nationalist propaganda, Nazi symbolism or promoting the ideology of National Socialism.
• Mobbing, stalking, doxxing (exposing someone's personal information), brigading (inciting a group to spam a specific place for any reason), threatening and harassment, as well as encouraging others to do those things.
• Insults, discriminatory jokes, sexualized comments and other unwanted sexual attention.
• Sexually obscene content, including content involving the exploitation or sexualization of minors.
• Content that's glorifying violence; that includes any violent material without a proper content warning.
• Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects.

I did in fact switch to self hosting. Also, how would you define “illegal activities.”? The internet is a decentralized, world-wide platform. Which State’s jurisdiction would you like to fall under?

The jurisdiction of the country where the server/company is located.

There are some common ground rules what people consider illegal. You cannot cover every countries' rules, of course, but blatant copyright violations, CSAM distribution, doxxing data is something most people can agree on.

And the jurisdiction of the location of the server is an important point, too.

Selfhosting has more reasons than "just" evading rules one does not like.
