good for you but do we need to post every no name project that moves away from github? feels weird
a project with 18k+ stars on GitHub considered random? I mean, yeah, React has 245k, and Kotlin has 52.7k, but it's not your average pet project :)
BookStack Moves from GitHub to Codeberg

Re: BookStack Moves from GitHub to Codeberg
#12As best I can see, bookstack has not experienced much in the way of concrete issues with Github. And there there are no concrete benefits from migrating to Codeberg. It is his project, his perogative, completely. But the major disbenefit of being on some other forge is that people are less likely to find the software and so less likely to adopt it. I use Bookstack for a family wiki. I probably would not have gone wit…
I can understand that viewpoint. Ultimately though, audience/growth is not a core success metric for me, and the values/points explained in the blog post are more important. Plus there's a factor of wanting to help de-centralise away from GitHub, and help provide momentum to alternatives. Looking at those who have starred the new Codeberg repo, at least 15 people are new today, and thus form part of a bigger audience…
Fair enough. I didn't say so but - bookstack is great. Thanks so much for it.

#13OSS is increasingly bisecting into two camps, and you can tell which camp they are in depending on whether their developers use X or Mastodon/Bluesky.
It's best to ignore such things.

It's 100% oriented around the US political compass, too.
I noticed this in ~2012 in the Python community. PyCon 2013 was the last "real PyCon" in my eyes. That was "Donglegate" happened, and was the last TiP BoF.
Since then it's only increased both in both scale and scope.
The politics of each "side" completely aside, it has worried me for a long time that the division has infected F/OSS as well, and weakened it as a result.
