Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.
I wonder why people favor codeberg so much over things like gitlab. It has an ugly UI from ancient GitHub…
Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that’s why.
Makes sense, though GitLab very much doesn’t require self-hosting

I know, but most people won’t. :-)
