Thank you to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de members for this clear decision to ban #GenAI #VibeCoding projects in their service.
- You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools […]. Such projects having an unclear copyright status […] and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code […].

the moment you put a company in charge
Then maybe they should stop expecting to be in charge, and recognise the not-for-profit maintainers currently in charge are already doing a good job. Certainly good enough that many wealthy corporations are built on that work, as it's currently done.
Just #FundTheMaintainers to do the job they're already doing.
But no, those with the money can't conceive of funding someone without also asserting control over what they do.
The best time to migrate your site away from #reCaptcha was when #Google assimilated it. But, if that wasn't enough for you:
“Google didn’t demand iPhone users install Google software to pass the test. Only #Android users who refuse Play Services get locked out. The asymmetry reveals what this is really about: not security, but ecosystem control.
“[This means] accessing basic web content requires running Google’s software and transmitting data to Google’s servers.”

OSS people have not produced world-class software.
Okay, I don't know what world you inhabit that has no internet, no world wide web, virtually no programming languages, and lacks the operating system which runs effectively all infrastructure computers.
Always need a company around to do the important but boring stuff.
What deluded, ahistorical, sophistic, dehumanising horseshit. I think I'm done here.
the OSS community […] Lots of people writing software, with no clue, then expecting everyone else to adopt it.
What astounding hubris and fabulation. Who's expecting what now?
I invite you to depart to Galt's Gulch and leave #FreeSoftware behind. Make sure you disconnect from anything we made as not-for-profit organised people.
We'll look forward to news of how you get along with no software made over the past half century by any of the pesky humans that didn't get paid.
That maintainers are doing a good job is something I'd take issue with.
Then your issue is with the wealthy owners of hugely profitable corporations, that stand on the backs of those maintainers and the jobs they do today.
Can a better job be done? Sure, no disagreement there. But the maintainers now have long produced world-class software that powers some of the biggest corporations on the planet.
Corporations should simply #FundTheMaintainers and stay out of the way.
If you send the data to Google for doing this
Yes, and that counts as not having control over your own analytics.
The correct solution to “must I warn my users, if I send their data to surveillance corporations?”
is: do not send your user's data to surveillance corporations.

we would like to understand if and where users struggle with the service. Or is that not done with cookies and/or would those class as essential?
Yes, is the short answer.
If the party who controls the website wants information about how the site is used, they have full access to the logs that are recorded by the site while each visitor is using it. GDPR has nothing to say against that, go digging through your own site logs as much as you like.
a wish to mix major modes in the same #Emacs buffer
