Opted Out and moved all to codeberg
How is codeberg?
Has everything I need, but not more
My god, this is such a positive review these days.
i love codeberg, though i haven’t had a chance to test the collaboration features all that much
It’s great. I also self-host my own Forgejo (that’s the software Codeberg runs on) instance for private repos, to avoid using up space on Codeberg’s servers.
Main problem is the lack of federation, leading to splintering across Codeberg/GitLab/sourcehut/self-hosted forges. I know there’s Radicle, and Forgejo is working on ActivityPub integration, but it’s slow-moving to get what should be inherently federated by design (git) to actually be federated. In practice you need accounts on a dozen different websites if you want to regularly contribute to foss.
Got this email last night and felt validated for never uploading any code to GitHub because I don’t trust Microsoft. lol I don’t have any big coding projects, but I self-host a ForgeJo server in my mini rack at home behind a Twingate VPN.
FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”
Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.
It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”
I live in the smack middle of the South in USA, so my brain automatically says “forge Joe” with the space and everything haha. But I get ya, thank you for explaining!
