Gregory's Server@nobletrout @jwildeboer Hard agree. For me this is about project governance, and infrastructure governance along with sustainable fund raising models (includes corporate sponsors). We must raise funding to support FOSS solution providers that respect privacy and user freedoms. Unpopular opinion: It does a disservice to our communities if we all stand up forgejo instances without considering that if we all put that money towards something like CodeBerg, that we might get a solution we all need.

@jwildeboer @nobletrout I figured you were, and I wrote "without considering" purposely. It is absolutely OK to do this for yourself, I don't object to that, but as @nobletrout says, and I agree with, we need a mindset change where we consider our options and their consequences. Consider if the top 3 downstream distribution put all of their sources on CodeBerg, and put all that funding in the same place? Imagine being able to do PRs against the same debian, gentoo, and fedora sources?  @codonell I am not a big fan of centralisation. Forgejo is working hard to integrate ActivityPub so that ultimately you can file issues, pull requests etc to any instance with your preferred AP account. It's going to take a while to get there, but that's the future I am hoping for. Decentralised, distributed, open. @nobletrout |
@codonell (FTR: I am a paying member of Codeberg, moved most of my projects there and am also running my own forgejo instance :) @nobletrout
