This will be a bit tricky to get right - if anyone wants to take up on this, we have to find "good and bad" examples before we suggest "best practices" to people.

We sometimes get asked about our space requirements because we are a non-profit: Codeberg-e.V./requests#291

This causes some concern among people that are wary of using up our resources - but that's kind of what we're there for. Codeberg/Community#515 (comment)

We can manually increase size limits if there is a reason for it. Using a forge for an archive, perhaps a media archive, is from my POV valid. Sometimes, other platforms may be better suited for that, but I find that "open access" and "archival" of free and libre content is something that suits our goals. How do we advise people how to do it right?
