I believe that #FreeSoftware #development needs free software #tools.

I’m tired of all the excuses for injecting #proprietary software like #GitHub, #Discord, #Transifex, #Slack, etc. into the development workflow. What's the point of making free software then?

We *do* have good free software tools available, we just need to use them.

Projects like #Forgejo show us exactly how it's done. Free software all the way, no compromises, no excuses. 👍

This is exactly the right direction.

@Wuzzy Hmm, so #Codeberg or your own #Forgejo instance, #Revolt, #Weblate, and #Matrix instead?

@Wuzzy I saw something about Gitlab working on fediverse stuff so people would be able to comment or make merge requests without having an account on any specific instance. I feel like that functionality could be a game changer.

Does Forgejo have that? Their home page says something about supporting decentralization. If they could federate accounts with each other, that would be fantastic.
