The Gitea Ltd company took over the @Gitea project.
The domains & trademark, previously under the governance of elected community leaders are now owned by a for-profit corporation based in Hong Kong.
I work daily on the Gitea codebase as part of my efforts to further forge federation in @forgefriends and did not get any advance warning, just as most volunteer contributors.
I would welcome, use, contribute and support a fork of Gitea with a healthy governance.

@dachary @forgefriends "an enhanced enterprise version", seems like they are going down the same rabbit hole, as gitlab
@dachary @forgefriends what they said seemed to make sense and wasn't very unreasonable. Until the part about cryptocurrency garbage myst made me complete lose any confidence I have in those people wanting to be good maintainers of this project.
@dachary @forgefriends Holy cats! I really liked that the Gitea project was a free alternative to GitHub and other proprietary Git companies. I'm not in a position to support a fork financially but I'm willing to help out in other ways.
