Forgejo is a good alternative. I personally use the Codeberg instance.
They’ll also be getting ActivityPub support someday.

Please no. It’s not much better than AI stuff in this case.
It’s so people can interact with your project without requiring an account in that particular instance.
Because I use a fuck load of free CI minutes on three OSes
- Free CI
- Everyone else also uses GitHub
Wake me up when there’s a competitor that can match that.
Because none of the downsides listed in this article really matter for most projects. The fact that GitHub is owned by Microsoft doesn’t magically give them rights over the code that they wouldn’t have if it was hosted somewhere else.
Unless they share it against the license terms via copilot of course.
Otherwise, I agree with you.
What stops them from doing that with code hosted somewhere else as long as it’s publicly accessible?
Why? “Because everybody else does” is the most common excuse. Microsoft could be physically rawdogging people’s fathers and it wouldn’t matter. Belong to the “in” crowd is what matters for most people. Can’t forget “idgaf” either.
You could be the most hard-left, anti-capitalist, anarchist person on the planet and still host your project on Github. In fact there are such people on Github.
Until an alternative becomes popular, early adopters of forgejo, sourcehut, radicle, and others have to proselytise their platforms. Things just don’t change otherwise.
Yeah… Strangely enough, most GitHub project also use as communications media: Discord :/ ! ughh !!
