    I always kept telling Free-software & OpenSource projects/developers to move to GitLab, Codeberg or SourceHut

    You cannot fight capitalists on a capitalists platform.

    & if you want something that’s even more independent try Fossil

      Codeberg is a non-profit that has no fees, but accepts donations. They only allow FOSS projects.

      Why would I move away from git if I could just move away from github/lab and keep git?

        Are you talking about Fossil ? Fossil’s commands are just like git’s & with the added benefit of having Github’s stuff like wiki & even a forum built into it

          That’s a gimmick that doesn’t justify the costs of switching from Git (IMO)

          If you want decentralized collaboration features in git without using forge software, you can use mailing lists like the Linux kernel does.

      By what standard is GitLab not a “capitalist platform”? It feels even more corporatey than GitHub. From their homepage:

      GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.

          Gitlab was created by a Ukrainian, and Microsoft is blocking Organic maps Russian developer due to sanctions due to war on ukraine, which is why what you’re suggesting is pretty cursed
