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.
Gitea?
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.
It is isn't it? I hope to see the these kinds of alternatives being the main way we interact with each other, Instead of billionaires controlling the very system the majority of earth's population relies on. I wonder how the Martians are doing (not a reference, just wanted to say that lol)
Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
Codeberg.
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.
That's hilarious actually. Didn't know India got f-35 planes
What's even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for 'hate speech'. That's when I knew Reddit is fucked and I'm never going back.
It doesnβt (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.
Your best bet would be Codeberg if it weren't getting attacked by Anubis-bypassing AI bots.
Forgejo, Codeberg, Gitlab, or self-host.
should be pointed out that codeberg is just a hosted and branded instance of forgejo (nothing wrong with it just pointing it out)
Codeberg
They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw
Currently, I'm doing:
Although, I'm planning to get off sr.ht long term because...
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.
Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.
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".
I always interpreted that to be in an open source sharing code kinda social projects for the betterment of everyone. What it became was people spamming PRs to get minor fixes or merged to pad their resume. Showing contribution heat maps like its a an extension of your resume or getting achievements like it's a video game.
You could self-host GitLab, though if you're looking for exposure it's probably not the best.
I think the GitLab CEO said something dumb recently
Got a source on that? The co-founder just stepped down from the CEO role recently, due to cancer. If his replacement is shady, I'd like to know.
BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!!
I'm OOTL. What's happening with GitHub?
