      This is a funny mistake to make, but after looking around on their website, I have genuinely no idea what group to attribute the project to. There’s no name in the privacy disclaimer. You can attribute it to the people that developed it, but that seems almost tautological… And perhaps, if they’re privacy enthusiasts too, they’d rather not be named and attributed to a location.

      If I wasn’t aware of GitHub let alone its alternatives, I’d assume Codeberg was the group responsible for the project too. It’s mentioned on every page footer, after all
