Codeberg
post
Forgejo, Codeberg, Gitlab, or self-host.
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.
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.
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.
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".
- https://codeberg.org/ for personal or small FOSS project
- https://gitlab.com/ for more complex projects (requiring issue tracker, CI, deploy, etc...)
I just migrated my personal projects to Codeberg (and sent a donation their way too!). As soon as I update the origins on my servers I'll be deleting my GitHub account.
The one FOSS project I contribute to was already being hosted on GitLab to begin with. And my work just announced we'll be migrating to GitLab as well.
Today is a good day
I'm OOTL. What's happening with GitHub?
Github now reports to Microsoft's AI division directly
In a one word... Enshittification
movement of jah people
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/
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.
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.
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
Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server
Hosted: codeberg, gitlab
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.
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.
I've been self hosting but various projects have moved to codeberg. I like Savannah as it's more old-school but it's a bit selective about projects.
- Codeberg
- sourcehut
- radicle
- self hosted
Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I'm planning to use it :)
