Oh and if you're still using GritHub as your code forge, obliging people to have and use a GH account to file bugs and push patches, you're collaborating with BorgSoft. Who have been knowingly enabling ethnic profiling for years, and continued to do so as it segued into genocide.

Please, don't do that.

I use and recommend CodeBerg, but there are many options. This list needs updating but gives a sense of the variety that existed a few years ago;

On the subject of the ongoing enshittification of GritHub, we've been here before. From a post on my #Disintermedia blog in its early days;

"SF.net has since reimplemented its stack in Python, beginning in 2009 as a new free code project called Allura under the Apache 2.0 license, and in June 2011, a piece was posted on the SourceForge blog which finished off, 'pull up a chair, because we’re here to stay'."

Every project that leaves GritHub for good is another measurable dent in the network effects of an enshittified, proprietary platform. Now owned by one of the oldest #DataFarming corporations, who were the earliest enemies of groups working for people's software rights and freedoms.

It's been far too long since I haven't updated this properly, but here's a snapshot of some open source communities that have already moved off GritHub;

It seems like forge federation is a harder problem to crack than we thought when BorgSoft bought GH. But I'm still hopeful that one day, many of these forges will interoperate to create the experience of a unified code forging space.

Great stuff. The more we ignore the BorgSoft propaganda that HutGub is where the action is and move elsewhere, the less true that propaganda is.

Bring on forge federation!
