Did it get much attention? I don't know of a single person who finds value in LLM generated comments on social platforms. The fact that Codeberg is getting attention for this move is likely because it alienated a part of the community that was previously engaging, enough to generate constructive responses. I didn't see the same thing happening with this HN change.

Interesting. Two things stand out to me:
1. dang specifically posted a comment saying the rule has been around for _years_ [1]
2. I browsed the top upvoted comments and they seem to almost universally lean towards this being a good thing.
That's about what I would of expected. Although the "being around for years" thing was news to me and doesn't really make the OP's argument a good comparison for Codeberg's case.
