They did the same accidentally to the co-founder https://twitter.com/defunkt/status/1754610843361362360 Once I'd seen that, I doubled down on my self hosted GitLab and never looked back. GitHub can be a mirror for public good, but it's no castle I want to be a prisoner of.

I definitely plan on migrating. Absolutely ridiculous

my account of 10 years also got permab& recently for "ToS violation" (support was relatively responsive, granted after a few nudges, and unbanned after ~weekend of downtime, but it was frustrating - the reason was "suspicious login(s)" but literally nothing in the access logs out of the ordinary that I could find on my end, and much like OP and others, they could not give me any more details)

Use locally installed Gitea. I only use Github for public forks and nothing else. Personal projects are all on private Gitea.

Why did Gitea seem to win out in the self-hosted space over GitLab?

I know gitea is extremely lightweight. I used to host Gitlab years ago and it took way more resources. It seems like hosting it is more geared toward enterprises than individuals/very small teams.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is changed in Forgejo compared to Gitea? If the only difference is the name, Gitea is a better name.

Gitea have moved the product from a community governed product to an open core one and handed over the gitea.com domain to a hosted services vendor

My question was: what did Forgejo do? If the software is still developed in Gitea's repository, and all Forgejo does is download the source from gitea.com, rename it, and post it on forgejo.org... how does that help the users?

If there exists some Gitea features that are not available open source ("open core")... how does having Forgejo help? Unless they provide those features, the situation remains unchanged. Until they do, what is there to applaud, and what's the point of switching?

Now is a great time to switch to Gerrit.

As far as I'm concerned, the first platform to get federated merge requests will win it all.

Federated merge requests, wiki, issues and such would be a killer feature.

I want to see all this data for all of the forks that are relatively close together from a single pane of glass. This would make collaborating and uplifting code back to the main branch much easier for small free software projects.
