    I'm faced with the question on whether all my investment can go up in flames on the whims of a shadow group.

What "shadow group" would that be? The paying members of Codeberg e.V. who voted to pass this motion?

And also like... this is how literally any community works? You "invest your free time" in it, then you do something that goes against the values of that community... yeah, of course that big bad "shadow group" (in other words, the admins/moderators) is going to do something.

    The point is that the stated values of said group changed.

      Yes, this happens with most communities. It's called growth.

      As an example, HN now has this in the guidelines:

      > Don't post generated text or AI-edited text. HN is for conversation between humans.

      Does this signify the end of HN? Or does it represent understandable growth in an evolving world?
