They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw
Currently, I'm doing:
- Codeberg for anything decent that can be public and open source
- sr.ht for shitty or private stuff
Although, I'm planning to get off sr.ht long term because...
Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault's work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone's public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

git.gay is also a cool git host
Idk sounds kinda gay
Ok my deleted message was: "Saying gay as a synonym for bad or weird is homophobic."
But I'm not really sure if it is in the context you were saying in, this could be taken as a stance in terms of making fun of people who say gay as a synonym for bad or weird. In which case it is totally ok to be mean to homophobes.
I'm kinda confused is this homophobic or not?
To be gay is absolutely completely 100% fine. But it's also, like, really gay. Does that help?
Stop already, you're gonna break their brain.
I think they were just making a joke because git.gay.
As in, not as bad or weird but more making fun of the homophobic "it's gay" argument that used to be used.
I do the same thing with my spousy occasionally. We're gay as hell, so it's funny as shit when I stroll by their room and just say, "Gaaaaaaaay~". Lol.
I just had a pretty intense argument with my friends about this and we ultimately came to the same conclusion as you pretty much.

I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don't even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.
Got banned for telling some one "fuck you you neonazi apologizer". Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.
They didn't ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn't say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.
Funny how things work.
Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore π. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place
Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.
They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.
I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.

I just hope people wake up to the fact that at this point GitHub became a social network that just has a code repository attached to it. Anything you care about should be replicated and self host where you can.
GitHub always claimed to be some kind of social network, their initial slogan was "social coding".

- https://codeberg.org/ for personal or small FOSS project
- https://gitlab.com/ for more complex projects (requiring issue tracker, CI, deploy, etc...)
I just migrated my personal projects to Codeberg (and sent a donation their way too!). As soon as I update the origins on my servers I'll be deleting my GitHub account.
The one FOSS project I contribute to was already being hosted on GitLab to begin with. And my work just announced we'll be migrating to GitLab as well.
Today is a good day
I'm OOTL. What's happening with GitHub?
Codeberg.
I can recommend checking out sourcehut https://git.sr.ht/
I also started using Radicle lately, I think it's a really interesting idea combining ideas from git and bittorrent to create a fully peer-to-peer code collaboration platform https://radicle.xyz/
Gitlab
GitLab vs Codeberg, go!
Codeberg (and Forgejo in general) is the nicest code forge I have ever used.
GitLab has horrible UI/UX. Is slow as hell and so heavy that self-hosting is a strain on compute resources. The layout of the sidebar makes finding what you care about slow.
Forgejo is slick as hell, very light on resources, and does virtually everything GitLab or GitHub does. Looks pretty much identical to GitHub with a clean coat of paint, but the UI runs so much faster in the browser.
The only downside to Codeberg and Forgejo is having to roll your own CI actions.
Forgejo makes migrating projects such a breeze too. You can transfer everything you have on GitHub in under 10 minutes. Forgejo is also working on implementing the ForgeFed spec, which will enable federated projects where people on other instances can create issues and otherwise interact with your project.
Seriously try out Forgejo with a couple projects, there is nothing you will miss about GitHub.

GitLab: a lot of cool features, well-integrated, polished. Downsides: resource hog, open-core model (some features locked behind a paid license when self-hosting)
Forgejo (the thing that powers codeberg): it's federated & lighter on resources usage. Downsides: some features still missing/in development

Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can't tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.

You could host your own gitea if your into that kind of thing.
I've done a bit of research and forjego is seemingly the better version of gitea.
Its a fork of Gitea by the community after Gitea started doing some suspicious things, I can't remember what they are.
i never heard of forjego so i looked it up, feel a bit stupid now after just migrating to self hosted gitea ;_;
Apparently gitea was bought by a private company without listening to community feedback on this decision.

I still use GitHub due to the convenience, but a lot of folks on Lemmy like Codeberg. I also setup a Gitea mirror of my GitHub the other day and itβs pretty cool. Easy to self host
Gitea is nice, the gh actions compatability is really handy

Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
Want to mention tangled.sh
I created an account, but then realized I could use my existing bluesky account that's registered to my own PDS. Intriguing.

I think Forgejo with federation will take over in another 10 years. Microsoft and others will be forced to copy it similar to meta and bluesky corporate options adding federation.
Forgejo/Codeberg is also a non-profit cooperative so there should sustainability of mission there.
I've been self hosting but various projects have moved to codeberg. I like Savannah as it's more old-school but it's a bit selective about projects.
Your best bet would be Codeberg if it weren't getting attacked by Anubis-bypassing AI bots.
- Codeberg
- sourcehut
- radicle
- self hosted
Isnβt radicle attached to some crypto nonsense?
Edit: I felt bad saying this and then not confirming it, so here you go: https://x.com/radicle/status/1483497327545495555 (I also feel bad about linking to that cesspool, but thatβs where the announcement was).
Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I'm planning to use it :)
