Nice, now we can centralize the decentralized version control on a different website.

Actually, they want to implement federation using forgefed [1] into forgejo, the underlying software. [1] https://forgefed.org/

Mmh, that link is dead

Maybe you're eagerness to sing praises to the forgefed project overshadowed the common knowledge that git is already distributed but, git is already distributed. :P I think that's what parent was sarcastically trying to imply.

In an ironic turn of events the main repo is on github: https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed (and even without any mirrors on codeberg). :)

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.

Where you see a problem, I see a market niche. I pay for Sourcehut hosting. I like that I'm on a system which rejects cryptocurrency projects.

so on OSS bitcoin wallet (web, android, iOS, whatever) would be something you'd reject? why?

Since we are talking about SourceHut, I'll simply say I agree with the views its founder wrote in "Cryptocurrency is an abject disaster" at https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disas...

See also the 248 comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26943408 from when that came out 4 years ago.

Or in pop culture terms, I would reject a FOSS version of the Torment Nexus too.

No, the main ForgeFed repo is on Codeberg:

https://codeberg.org/ForgeFed/ForgeFed

The README in both repos links to the main Codeberg repo and says that the GitHub repo is a mirror.

I'm wondering, now almost three years in after the Forgejo/Gitea fork, which side of the fork ended up better. Both still seem very active with thousands of commits each. I run a Gitea server (since long before the fork, constantly updated) that handles issues, pull requests, signed commits, CI/CD, actions, and even serves my containers and packages. It's been amazing. Of course Forgejo can do the same. For those who…

How is Gogs, the original project doing these days?

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.

You're missing the point. We want AI to piggyback on our open source code, because then thousands of developers around the world can piggyback on that AI. That AI is a boon for users, and is just as useful as documentation and a discussion forum.

Why would any adult give so much power to a few people over their project for what would be a few $$ at most in GitHub if not free.

The idea that I would choose a company because is from Europe instead of America, is kinda insane to be honest, I'm from Spain, Europe and my only peeve with products from America is that sometimes the cost to send products here is a bit too much for products like kinesis, aeron, books from nostarch, etc.

Good for Codeberg for giving the hosting service for free to FOSS projects, but there is no way I'm giving so much power to a few volunteers over my projects.

I wish GitHub would implement a feature to hide/private the projects I follow/star, that's the only thing I miss in GitHub.
