I kind of wonder how accurate the comparison is. I mean I have little doubt that what's listed is accurate, and that gitea is more fully featured than gogs, but isn't there anything gogs does that gitea doesn't? It's still being developed after all
Forgejo – Launching a Fork of Gitea

Forgejo is a community-run fork because the project should not be owned by a for-profit company.
why fork gitea and not gogs? is gitea "better" than the former?

… unless your first language is very different from Esperanto. It really does sound weird. I already imagine trying to sell this at my $DAYJOB (I would likely have to "fork" it myself just to replace a few strings in the codebase that mention the original name).
What does it sound like in your language?
Doesn't really matter for me personally, but very much does matter in a work context. People have already had trouble with calling Gitea by its proper name and just calling it 'git'.

It is easy to use, and Codeberg uses it for their public CI/CD
Not to dismiss your comment but you appear entitled through comments like > Gitea should work with Woodpecker for closer integration, not build one by itself. > Codeberg uses it for their public CI/CD Why should anyone care/use CI/CD software because Codeberg uses it? I didn't even know this company existed until just now. Isn't it rude to act entitled and act companies to bend to your will? You speak negatively of G…
Woodpecker is community-run, and Codeberg is a non-profit running the biggest Gitea instance.
> You speak negatively of Gitea, highlighting a fork because they were working on a CI
The for-profit Gitea company released the integrated CI/CD that should not be trusted because it was a code dump and worked on in secret. You can read more about the hostile takeover of Gitea at the open letter https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social
> Woodpecker which itself is a fork of Drone CI
Drone CI is not open source, and does not respect user freedoms.

#55Well-being and moderation teams were already created. Must be a VERY vibrant community. There is a section for what does Forgejo offer but what does it offer that gitea does not?
Forgejo is owned by an independent community instead of a for-profit company, and promises to be free/libre forever!
As someone using neither of them Im genuinely perplexed why anyone trying to work in this space thinks they have a snowballs chance in hell of long term survival if they don’t have some level of critical mass. If the moment the mass reaches critical and business organisation is needed to deal with the legal and business stuff… this whole debacle is a very hardline open source philosophy shitshow and I fully expect this splinter group to eventually fail with the longer term survival of the parent project now less certain because they lost some of that critical mass right at a crucial moment in their growth towards a sustainable level of business cashflow (which is a necessary evil in order for developers working in any software to make a god damn living and not die starving in a gutter) …
So yeah, please tell me why your promises make you qualitatively better at something I would care about?
If your business/community are getting the bulk of their growth from the community of people being alienated from a much larger, older, platform… it behoves you to not make it harder for people to choose you from the other options as they walk out the proverbial door.

#56This is interesting but does codeberg dictate what projects are acceptable? From this post it seems that codeberg has an authoritarian vibe to the point where you can produce “wrong code”; https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/794#issuecomm... If that is the case I’ll stick with my self hosted gitlab.
A platform needs to be moderated, and I support Codeberg. Ddevault and SourceHut already banned all cryptocurrency-related projects.
Good luck to you none the less.

There are many examples of opensource developers receiving full time payment from the community. Krita, Godot, and more all exist long term.
You can earn a living, and respect user freedoms.

#58call it gitgo please? forgejo is a non starter name to me.

Thanks for the clarification. I’m not a crypto dev or into crypto much but I’m not into the idea of banning people for “wrong code”, “wrong speak” or idealogical reasons so I’ll be sure to stay away from sourceHut, Ddevault and codeberg. Good luck to you none the less.
