Add a short link to redirect to Codeberg, Increase the ease of recommending Codeberg to others

Similar cases:
pr.tn -> proton.me
duck.com -> duckduckgo.com
t.me -> telegram.org
...

I think Codeberg can use cd.bg or code.bg, etc. to redirect to codeberg.org to Increase popularity and easy to remember

I don't think this is feasible:

  1. Obtaining a short domain name is quite costly as it's usually reserved by a name squatter, if not by a legitimate user.
  2. (Ab)using a ccTLD is not really in the spirit of how domains should work and depending on the ccTLD might put the content or usage of Codeberg under extra restriction.
  3. I find the claim of it increasing the popularity not that credible and being easy to remember not a real problem that is currently associated with the codeberg.org domain.

@Gusted look at cases i listed, Proton no problem, works fine and also..., I don't want to say anything more, in dm you seem friendly to avoid any possibility of adding cryptocurrencies, now it's short link, maybe Codeberg/You really won't change anything, at least to me, you didn't give any reasonable explanation why proton/microsoft/telegram can do that but codeberg didn't, the community issue looks like a joke, at least to me yes, anyway, good luck, i quit
