I guess I'm out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
Yeah, this is news to me. I think Codeberg runs on Forgejo, and just the other day people were singing its praises when GitHub became part of Microsoft's AI team. This feels like a sudden shift.
Another git repository that is not hosted on itself?
Seems like a weird choice.
That's like the CEO from Microsoft going on stage with a MacBook.
Codeberg is a service. Forgejo is a platform.
It's more like how a warehouse company doesn't build its own forklifts.
Wasnt aware of that. I believed they were an alternative to gitea, github, forgejo, sourceforge
Codeberg is a forgejo installation. lemmy.dbzer0.com isn't lemmy itself
Forgejo is developped on Codeberg, which runs on Forgejo
Codeberg is the "demo" Forgejo instance is where they develop the software (Forgejo)
Forgejo is a fork of Gitea which is pretty well known. They forked out of fear because Gitea got bought and is now a for-profit iirc
Probably just the weird name. It makes it feel like someone’s weekend personal project.
I use it to self-host my own code and it works great, I’m totally moved off GitHub now.
They probably don't. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
Personally uaong forgejo myself and it has been smooth sailing for ages! This is the first time ive ever seen people taking a stance against it, though the ones in the comments sidnt seem to have a good argument.
I've never seen anyone hate on forgejo.
Why do you think prople hate Forgejo?
