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 "The home of free and open software"?

@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"
@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

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!

@Codeberg "BS-free repos!"

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

"Building the commons, together."
"Version control for a better web."

"Not for profit, for members and users"
I think the non-profit aspect is the key differentiator, and highlighting members and users helps people understand that better.
If is not apparent from the page that this is a place for git repos, that can be included:
"Git hosting but not for profit, controlled by you"

@Codeberg "ship it", a thinly veiled reference to the Titanic running into a codeberg on the Atlantic ocean.
