Codeberg.
What’s up with GitHub?
While it has already been owned by micrsoft for a few years, the github ceo has now stepped down, leading to fears that it’s going to enshittify even more.

My last ban was for “Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence”.
My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was “Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary”.
I appealed, and the ban was upheld.

Apparently, ICE is “all white people” I guess.
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.
Thanks so much for the detailed response!
I was already on both GitLab and Codeberg actually, but now I feel confident moving entirely to Codeberg. ❤️
You wouldn’t happen to have tried SourceHut as well, have you?
Never tried SourceHut, but it definitely seems lightweight from browsing repos hosted on a SourceHut instance. UI is different from other code forges to say the least.
No experience with Codeberg, personally. My team switched to GitLab at work a few months back and it’s been excellent. They are plenty of features to love, but the better CI/CD support and private package repositories were the deciding factor for us.
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
Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I’m planning to use it :)
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.
Almost 3 years now : https://code.blender.org/2022/07/gitea-diaries-part-1/
- 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
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)
Chatgpt lol
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 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/
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.
Im here now because of a reddit ban.
Welcome 🤗.
Avoid .ml and other tankie communities, otherwise most everyone is generally nice.
Communities are still taking time to build up, but you get to contribute meaningfully to a community of mostly like-minded people. ✨
You won’t get banned for saying fuck you to a neo nazi in the main instances.
Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore 😂. 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 doesn’t (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.
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 okay with white people colonization.
Funny how things work.
better spelling
