If I want to move away from GitHub, and I don't like GitLab's bloatiness, or Codeberg's general vibe, what options do I have that are not run by someone in his basement?
I'm aware of radicale. And there is also a russian forge I saw some people flock to because of the DMCA mafia. But my repos are not that edgy ๐.
I write this as a paying member of the Codeberg e.V., just so you know where my affiliation lays.
https://sr.ht/ is also reasonably popular, although the web interface is certainly a lot more minimal. SourceHut development and hosting of that instance and lots of other stuff is spearheaded by Drew DeVault. I have my disagreements with the guy technologically, but he holds solid views ethically, so passes the vibe check for me.
https://notabug.org/ has also been around for quite a few yeaes, and hosted by the https://peers.community/ non-profit. Alas:

Disroot also has a Forgejo instance: https://git.disroot.org/
Disroot is a community kind of pursuing decentralization and privacy online. Also been around for quite a few years by now.
Thank you. I think I knew of disroot, but now I will bookmark them.
I also just remembered tangled, which would have been an interesting federated option, if a lot of people haven't decided to hate anything that touched the AT protocol.
