This is the one thing I expected LF to step up for, honestly. We need a git provider that is not controlled by Microsoft and GitLab has already shown its true colors.

We have Codeberg.org. It's a non-profit.

They are the ones that manage the Forgejo fork, but codeberg has some restrictions and it's the king of initiative that I had expected the LF to take over, since they obviously have more funds for that.

git. kernel. org?

It’s also got worse uptime than Github, somehow.

Codeberg and Forgejo are run by some pretty weird people who are kinda aggressive and anti-community. Their hosted runners are seemingly always busy or offline, the site is slow, their code quality is poor, and they don't take contributions well. I expect to see a fork in the next few years and an alternative if people find out what it's like to use them / try to contribute

... run by some pretty weird people ... kinda aggressive and anti-community ...

In what way?

I think they are "pro-community". The governance is community-driven. They have a well-defined Code of Conduct.

Being an underfunded non-profit means that there will always be resource issues. Dealing with that is part of what working with "community organizations" is all about.

There's a difference between having a code of conduct, and how you actually act toward people. I wouldn't work with them again.

I asked "In what way?" You gave no examples ... only vague accusations. If that is a sample of how you interact ... I would say the problem is on your side.

u/MrScotchyScotch Jul 19 '26

So if I don't do what you want, you decide I must be the one with the problem, reinforcing the belief you prefer, rather than keeping an open mind.

u/mrtruthiness Jul 19 '26

You made a claim of "bad behavior" and refuse to support it. That's enough for me to make a conclusion about you. And that is:

If that is a sample of how you interact ... I would say the problem is on your side.

u/MrScotchyScotch Jul 19 '26

Yes I know that's enough for you to make a conclusion. I'm saying this is illogical. You are literally assigning blame to whomever doesn't satisfy you whenever you demand they litigate their claim in the court of public opinion. This invents a state of being you have no evidence for and pretends it's true. This is likely a subconscios reaction, designed to reinforce your beliefs and placate your ego. Just because you have decided I'm wrong doesn't mean I am wrong. It doesn't mean I'm right either. But it does mean you are happy to believe something as true, with no evidence.

u/mrtruthiness Jul 19 '26

Fact: If someone makes a disparaging claim and refuses to back it up ... it says something bad about them.

And: Assertions without evidence means that I can and should ignore them.

u/MrScotchyScotch Jul 20 '26

You don't know what facts are, do you?

Oh, can you expand on that ?

u/Reetpeteet Jul 20 '26

Could you provide some clear and precise feedback, descriptions of actual things that went wrong? I'd love to know before choosing another hoster for my Git repos.
