Codeberg: A GitHub alternative from Europe

Re: Codeberg: A GitHub alternative from Europe
#12i would have serious concerns about hosting in europe due to hate speech laws that are muddy and ripe for abuse. the site doesn't have a hate speech policy i can find, is anyone here informed on exactly what the ramifications of such laws might be?

There's many privacy and other laws that affect myself and my neighbours in Europe that concern me, but hate speech has never been one of them.
Perhaps wherever you're from you draw lines differently to how we do it in Europe, with regards to what is socially and morally acceptable to say?
I should add that we also don't have a right to "free speech" in the UK as, say, Americans do, and yet it hasn't forced us to keep our mouths shut.

#15• https://codeberg.org/ (As per the linked article)
• https://sr.ht/ (Sourcehut)
Codeberg and Sourcehut appear to use open source code for their web page backend; the others seem to use proprietary software (in the case of GitLab, there is a free version, but gitlab.com also uses non-free software).
Sourcehut says they may some day charge people to host open source software on their server, but right now it’s a free beer service (but, yes, I have donated) using Free (libre) software.
Souceforge also has a proprietary free-to-use for open source Git hosting service, but their service is a little buggy so I would use one (or in my case, all) of the five I have listed.
If there are any others, please let us know.
In terms of continuous integration, in my particular use case, the automated CI tests take about an hour to all run, so I have a Raspberry Pi server the size of a deck of cards which runs Ubuntu 22.04. The server uses a crontab which checks to see if the Git repo has been updated once a day, and runs the tests inside a Docker container if the repo has changed. Some problems, such as automated testing, don’t need to be solved by putting everything in a cloud.

Is it just me or does this seem to only support Linux and leave all other platforms out to dry?

Pretty sure GitLab is open source.

Codeberg is a fork of Gitea https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea which curiously uses GitHub for hosting.

> gitlab Pretty sure GitLab is open source.
There is a FOSS GitLab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss
The hosted gitlab.com instance uses EE features so parent is correct to say that the gitlab.com site is not open source.
