However, projects hosted on Codeberg are not necessarily by developers of software—on the other hand, deciding on a new slogan can be difficult and contentious, as first impressions really matter (and there's not a lot of space there).

@Codeberg "Creation, but free!" I can even imagine a home page where the text before ", but free" scrolls down to be replaced by all the kinds of creative works you host: software development, art...
-
@Codeberg you could go for the simple "We're not GitHub" I am sure that would be popular.
Or something more inspiring sounding like "Reach the peak of your imagination"

@Codeberg I think the governance is what makes Codeberg special and this phrase is my attempt to leverage the well known "free as in ___" structure to introduce what I see as a more important and robust category of freedom than the GNU four freedoms or the shallow data ownership of ATProto forges.

Develop With Dignity
"free" is an awful word, it's not only a questionable ideological signal but a thought-terminator by branched jamming - starting with that whole thing about having to explain the libre/gratis dichotomy. in mundane reality nothing is completely controlled, nor completely unencumbered by controls! so suspension of disbelief is required for *parsing* the discourse around software freedom, which is ... not a great starting point at all
@unspeaker my first thought also was "it has something without free" @Codeberg

@ragectl Rumor has it that Codeberg has tried something along these lines in the past: https://web.archive.org/web/20240401142505/https://codeberg.org/ ~n

@Codeberg Commons, not Profits

Tip: A bunch of ideas we have gotten so far involve the themes "mountain"/"summit", "unlike the 'rest of the Internet'", "retreat", "iceberg", "cool"... there miiiight be something behind those, but we also welcome out-of-the-box suggestions.
@Codeberg Starting with "Codeberg", I think of a Titanic/Iceberg theme. You manage all the stuff "below the water" of some creation's manifestation. There is danger if you do not respect the unseen parts.

“a heap* of ideas”*) mountain, stack, hill, whatever
Lots of branches on that mountain – is it an orchard or vineyard?

@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Real suggestions:
- Purpose: "Infrastructure to develop software on" (in chime to the OST of My Friend Pedro, "Music To Banana To", or lofi beats to relax/study to)
- Completeness: "Code collaboration, management, translation and preservation, tailored to how you need it!"
- Trust: "Your code can live with us for eons."
- Constructivity: "A place to build projects on."
Joke suggestions:
- needs tomfoolery: "autonomy, stimulation, security and connection with just one account! click here!"
- more music tomfoolery: "when you break your code, we breakdance it all the way through"
- time traveling: "your future self would approve of leaving your code here"
- best read with sunglasses on: "i'm in"
