I always wonder what GitHub has that Codeberg doesn't. It's a shame this isn't as popular. It seems like developers, of all people, are willingly letting their code be AI piggybacked.
For me so far the biggest thing holding me back is the lack of CI/CD.
You can bring your own Woodpecker CI or Forgejo Actions runners. The cheapest solution is to just run them at home in a VM.
Codeberg is a community driven project, which provides CI for FOSS projects, and it's a bit unfair to expect them to provide free compute for random and/or private projects.
For what it's worth, I've had better experience with running self-hosted Forgejo Actions runners compared to self-hosted Github Actions runners.
I self-host forgejo but still want a way to publish open-source. I've been using GitHub for this and didn't realize that codeberg.org was an option. Glad to see them getting the press.

Name recognition, and a stubborn belief that "stars" are a somehow useful metric in determining the quality of a project.
what other metric do you propose we use? fake download metrics?
Are you being intentionally obtuse? Yes, lawsuits are how contract disputes are settled. "The law is on your side" means a court will side with you in case of a lawsuit.
> Are you being intentionally obtuse? are you? need I remind you, you said: > I want 100% certainty that if my side project makes money they're not going to come after me there is NEVER any certainty that your counterparty won't come after you, even if you think your contract is "unambiguous" because that not how the system works
all the usual arguments. I get where he's coming from, I thought like this for a long time as well. I wouldn't pride myself in having sold all my bitcoins in 2016. I regret having dabbled in stuff like ethereum around that time when I could've just stuck with bitcoin. I just didn't see it. conflating the nft/dao/web3/shitcoin sphere with bitcoin vibe with me either. good luck to him with paper money, I'm going with bitcoin, come what will. I'm not on a mission, do what feels right. I'm not judging. just weirded out by the thought of someone not wanting OSS software of that sort to be hosted on their platform. where does it end? ban users who are active in that area outside of your platform? people are using postgres unethically to store illegal data, stolen pii and credit cards. tor is used for csam. I have difficulties understanding this line of thinking and it feels more like an ethical way to exclude a group of people you just don't like. could be totally wrong of course.

Codeberg suffers from the same problem as sourcehut. They are so fanatical that many groups are unable to use them. Sourcehut for example is hostile towards cryptocurrency related projects. Coderberg is hostile towards private repos.

Get real. It's a community project with limited resources. If they had the money for hosting I'm sure that would be offered for FOSS projects, which their bylaws requires to focus on.

No activism, just code and solid infrastructure.
That said, what can codeberg really protect against if they’re just a European take on GitHub?

conversely, what's the purpose of using Codeberg over Github?
Not wanting to perpetuate a monoculture. Centralizing git repos is perverse.

Saying that as someone who keeps my open source projects primarily on codeberg: Getting access to Codeberg CI is a bureaucracy, it has outages due to DDOS attacks every other week and there are a good number of open source developers who are making non-negligible money via GH sponsors.
Forgejo CI is really easy to setup, though. Just get a cheap VPS or Oracle Free Tier and you don't have to worry about freeloading.

"Everybody" is on GitHub. For Codeberg contributors, bug reporters, ... probably got to register first. Also: GitHub is so established that for many people git and GitHub are the same thing.
That is also a disadvantage, Github has a lot more grifters, people submitting fraudulent and malicious PRs, issues spam. In similar vain as "everybody is on windows" and Linux not being targeted by malware as often.
If a person really cares about your project and wants to improve it and not just boost their own GH stats - creating an account takes no time or they can always send you patches via email.
