@gitea @FediFollows @aral @codeberg
Well, I meant: Codeberg is on the Fediverse, but MS not. And hopefully it will stay that way! ;-)

@aral I already moved from Github to Codeberg 2 weeks ago...

Reasons:
a) Codeberg is not Microsoft
b) Codeberg is a registered association
c) Codeberg is located in Germany/EU
d) Codeberg is active in the #Fediverse as well at @codeberg

🙂

@akiva I agree here.

Same goes with 3D modelling & design. I learned PowerAnimator on a SGI Indy before I was allowed to use the MaxImpact. If you need to wait for too long because what you do is to complex, you start to thing about easier/better solutions to achieve what you want.

@jgoerzen Others already have mentioned @codeberg and I recently blogged about it on planet.d.o as well.
I think, Codeberg is a good option, if you don't want to host yourself, but do want to move away from Github, because Codeberg is a German-based non-profit organization.

@jgoerzen Well, with Codeberg/Gitea (maybe also with others) you could setup a push mirror.
My consideration was: when I use my own Gitlab/Gitea instance, I won't be found on the internet. If using a more centralized service like Codeberg my projects will more likely to be found and contributors may benefit from having already an account there.

As always: it's a tradeoff to some degree, but with Codeberg I don't feel that locked in like with Github because of the non-profit org.

@jgoerzen Well, in the case of Codeberg, I think it's from Codeberg to somewhere else, according to the screenshot.

But as Codeberg is using Gitea, I assume that this option does also exist on self-hosted Gitea installations.

Another bonus for Codeberg/Gitea: afaik there is work on implementing ActivityPub in Gitea, which could result in a better network effect of distributed Gitea instances. At least an interesting option, I'd say...

@Gina "be in office when lockdown is over" is not "100% homeoffice".

Some employers are really strange... do they really expect to win people with those non-arguments?
