I've been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?

    I used to run Gitea and switched to Forgejo mainly because I prefer a community project over one run by a for-profit company. I never had any substantive complaints against Gitea during my time with it to be honest, but thought I’d get off of it before investing too much further in case it went in a bad direction.

    That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn't aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

    The transition of gitea to chasing profits was pretty messy too iirc and motivated the forgejo fork. Gitea lost a lot of good-will back then. Forgejo is also the base that codeberg runs on now.
