I checked out their issues and learned their moderation team has "enforcers" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/issues/78 https://codeberg.org/forgejo/gove

  And they're silencing constructive criticism by editing comments (removing their content).

    Wow, those removed comments tell the whole story. (You can click "edited" to see the original message.)

      Oh dear. I like Code of Conducts. I put my pronouns on stuff. I moderate a largely LGBTQ community. I am absolutely, 100% in favor of DEI and making sure people in minority groups feel safe and comfortable contributing to the communities I'm in. And I think those comment edits are a very bad look for the project. I don't know the people involved at all. Maybe the person applying to be a moderator is an angel of a person, and the people opposed to their appointment are awful. I have no idea. But what I saw there was someone raising concerns about a specific person's behavior, and their comments being essentially deleted as ad-hominem attacks. That doesn't sound right to me. The person wasn't saying "you smell funny so I'm ignoring your argument". They were saying "you did some things in a previous role that made me think you're not a good fit for this one". I didn't interpret it as an ad-hominem attack at all. I hope this is a tempest in a teapot that blows over quickly.
