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
There are bunch of cool ideas, but I'd rather distant myself from the word "free", because using Codeberg might be free, but maintaining it is not. So I prefer pushing towards building open culture spirit. Here are my suggestions:"A Step Towards Open Culture"
"The tip of the Open Culture"

@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.

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?
@Codeberg Software. For Everyone.

My first instinct was to implement mountain/summit/peak signified, but after some thought I concluded that it would be simultaneously obvious and forced.
However, referencing the vastness and untamed nature of mountainous landscape would be more subtle:
"Untame your code"
"Your code, untamed"
"Code Without Limits"
"Open code, open horizons"
Or something like:
"Where code roams free"

@Codeberg How about "Societal development, but free!"

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 Shouldnt it be a more a catchy “value proposition”? Something that will tell the visitor what Codeberg is?
“Full-featured Git hosting, zero corporate strings attached.”
“Keep your code away from AI training pipelines — privacy-first hosting by a community-owned platform.”
“EU-based hosting with true data sovereignty — you can trust where your code lives.”
“Non-profit, community-driven governance — features and priorities shaped by developers, not investors.”
“No telemetry, no ads — just reliable, open-source code hosting you can depend on.”

@Codeberg "Unrestricted software development". To oppose the Freemium model used by other.

@Codeberg I rather like the idea of just leaving the tagline as “Insert catchy slogan here”. But maybe that’s just me.
