Keep in mind that this is explicitly not a public vote, but rather a "call for inspiration", if we may. We'd rather avoid a Boaty McBoatface (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatface) type of situation, but humorous suggestions remain nevertheless welcome!
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.

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).
So, one of the people controlling the social media account decided to ask the fediverse: Any good ideas?

@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 "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
