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
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Gitea said they were going to make "An enhanced enterprise version" (i.e., a proprietary version). That's bad enough to warrant a fork in my book.
If only everyone follows ddevault's advice and starts each project with AGPL, that way no company can steal the code.
As an outsider, your posts throughout this thread come across as whiny, entitled m, and thoroughly self-serving.

It's easy \ˈfor.d͡ʒe.jo\ the Esperanto word for forge
… 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).
Even with a language close to Esperanto (French) it’s hard to pronounce, and not very catchy.
Honestly using an Esperanto word is a bit uninspired and mediocre.

So, reducing to the actual difference we have … “not them” and “promises to be different from them” … 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 busin…
> developers working in any software to make a god damn living and not die starving in a gutter 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.

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…
> Why should anyone care/use CI/CD software because Codeberg uses it? 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 hos…
This is not the answer, really.
For example if anyone asks why should you use Firefox you can at least say Mozilla is trying to support an independent (as in "they have their own engine\stack") software that complies with modern standarts without addint it's own bullshit.
Not just because they are non profit or because of some of their views or whatever.
While closed sourced sofware owned for a profit entity has it's risks - so does the community-run software. Different risks but still risks. Endless number of forks is one of them.
Hard to pronounce name sounds already like a bad start.

Forgejo is a community-run fork because the project should not be owned by a for-profit company.
are the core developers and other contributors migrating to Forgejo?
For what it's worth, Codeberg is quite a major contributor to Gitea as well as the biggest public instance, and they are supporting the fork and will be switching over after the first stable release.
