I’m staying with Gitea. They’ve created the Ltd. so they can sell professional support as most businesses will want a proper invoice. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Also, ForgeJo was promising federation which is still a WIP several years later. And, the one time I’ve tried ForgeJo it shit itself when I’ve added an emoji to my username. For some reason Gitea didn’t have any problem with that.
It works in both directions. I’ve been shadowbanned from mastodon.social because one user misinterpreted my comment about something political (related to Germany), reported me and apparently their (German) mod was either lazy or followed the same misinterpretation and shadowbanned me - for life.
And there’s no way to object this as their support only answers to members. Which I am not.
I don’t need a notification of issues, I need a notification of when there’s a new version to roll out. And that can be solved by using things like WatchTower or setting up release notifications on GitHub.
And, of course, a comparison hosted on ForgeJo’s webpage will make it out that they’re “the better choice”.
Well, that was the one big distinguishing thing between the two, back when ForgeJo was the new kid on the block. ForgeJo wanted to make it a priority to implement federation.
And I never said it’s unusable - it’s just that I, personally, don’t see any reason to switch from Gitea to ForgeJo.
