I'll be damned when Forgejo (or gitlab) starts charging me for selfhosting.
Sounds like a hard you-problem to me there.
User 1: "I'm having an issue with a service, has anyone else experienced this?"
User 2: "I do not use that service." <-- This contributes nothing to the discussion, and makes User 2 sound like a prick. Don't be like User 2.
User 1: "I pointed a loaded gun at my foot, and now shot myself!"
User 2: "Don't do that."
According to wikipedia Forgejo development is run by Codeberg which is a non-profit organization so I doubt they will start charging money. GitLab is managed by a for-profit corporation so anything is possible with them.
I have to use Github for work. And prior to all this ive had no real issues with it...other than all the ethical arguments of course.
I have my own forgejo (and codeberg, contributed to lemmy and other projects too). works really well for my tiny projects.
