..but this will realistically just spawn some new mirrors and proxies because the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won't ever move away.
Anyway, I am doing my part! (With my irrelevant profile)
That's what they said about Sourceforge though.
Github probably won't shoot ~~themselves~~ their userbase in the dick quite as spectacularly as Sourceforge did, though.
At least they're less obvious about it.
Sourceforge 🤮
Oh, come on. It wasn't that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.
It wasn't! It's ugly, slow, and hard to use right now! 🤪
I guess. I haven't lived through its golden age as a developer, but, seeing it now, anything would be better than Sourceforge IMO, so I would understand why people would move away even just for practical reasons
Yeah well no shit, it's a meme from an old 80s movie that has probably seen multiple levels of compression. Yet somehow it still got my point across, despite your keen observation.
90s*
Lol what have you got against images in posts/comments? 😆 Take your silly hangups back to lemmy world
I wonder why people favor codeberg so much over things like gitlab. It has an ugly UI from ancient GitHub…
Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that's why.
Makes sense, though GitLab very much doesn't require self-hosting
I know, but most people are lazy these days (and self-hosting stuff in the EU has become a legal battle against every week's new rules).
I don’t think you understand what I mean. It has its “main instance” which most people use. It’s just open source so you have the option of self hosting.
I know, but most people won’t. :-)
I was on GitLab for a time (and still keep the account for following stuff and maybe contributions), but felt it wasn't as free and community focused as I would have liked to, so I decided to move away and went to Gitea (the hosted instance), shortly after I discovered Codeberg which aligns with my ideals even more, so I went to try it and it stuck.
The UI isn't that bad in my opinion and it's more responsive than GitLab's, so I appreciate it.
Not to say that it's the perfect platform of course, at least not yet, I miss GitLab for the easy actions/CI and deployment of pages, but I'm hoping that Forgejo actions will land soon enough and make things better.
Note: recently I found out a userstyle that tries to modernize the UI by following a Material You-like interface called Gitea Modern, don't know if it's still holding up since it's been archived
Really gitlab went down the niche client path and no longer is a non Microsoft alternative? Sadge, at least I know about codeberg now.
No no, don't get me wrong, it very much still is, it's really great for what it is, but for my own purposes it's a bit too much maybe, and I never thought to come back also because I was, and still am, anticipating federation on Gitea/Forgejo, I didn't expect that GitLab would add that in as well, so now that'll be a moot point when the relevant merge requests do land
What does that mean
It’s not bad per se, but it leaves a lot to be desired and I think it’s about as responsive as GitLab.
