I think Forgejo with federation will take over in another 10 years. Microsoft and others will be forced to copy it similar to meta and bluesky corporate options adding federation.
Forgejo/Codeberg is also a non-profit cooperative so there should sustainability of mission there.
Codeberg
They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw
Currently, I'm doing:
Although, I'm planning to get off sr.ht long term because...
Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault's work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone's public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.
I can recommend checking out sourcehut https://git.sr.ht/
I also started using Radicle lately, I think it's a really interesting idea combining ideas from git and bittorrent to create a fully peer-to-peer code collaboration platform https://radicle.xyz/
I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don't even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.
Got banned for telling some one "fuck you you neonazi apologizer". Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.
They didn't ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn't say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.
Funny how things work.
Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore π. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place
Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.
They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.
I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.
That's hilarious actually. Didn't know India got f-35 planes
What's even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for 'hate speech'. That's when I knew Reddit is fucked and I'm never going back.
It doesnβt (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.
Codeberg.
Want to mention tangled.sh
I created an account, but then realized I could use my existing bluesky account that's registered to my own PDS. Intriguing.
It is isn't it? I hope to see the these kinds of alternatives being the main way we interact with each other, Instead of billionaires controlling the very system the majority of earth's population relies on. I wonder how the Martians are doing (not a reference, just wanted to say that lol)
Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
Gitea?
Your best bet would be Codeberg if it weren't getting attacked by Anubis-bypassing AI bots.
I just hope people wake up to the fact that at this point GitHub became a social network that just has a code repository attached to it. Anything you care about should be replicated and self host where you can.
GitHub always claimed to be some kind of social network, their initial slogan was "social coding".
I always interpreted that to be in an open source sharing code kinda social projects for the betterment of everyone. What it became was people spamming PRs to get minor fixes or merged to pad their resume. Showing contribution heat maps like its a an extension of your resume or getting achievements like it's a video game.
Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can't tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.
Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.
I'm OOTL. What's happening with GitHub?
You could host your own gitea if your into that kind of thing.
I've done a bit of research and forjego is seemingly the better version of gitea.
Its a fork of Gitea by the community after Gitea started doing some suspicious things, I can't remember what they are.
i never heard of forjego so i looked it up, feel a bit stupid now after just migrating to self hosted gitea ;_;
Apparently gitea was bought by a private company without listening to community feedback on this decision.
Forgejo is Gitea with federation (work in progress)
I still use GitHub due to the convenience, but a lot of folks on Lemmy like Codeberg. I also setup a Gitea mirror of my GitHub the other day and itβs pretty cool. Easy to self host
