Moved all my public GitHub repositories to @Codeberg ✅
See: https://codeberg.org/thomas.leister/
... and the private ones to @codefloe , because Codeberg is for open source licensed repos, only.
Feelin' good! 💪
By the way: You might think "why do you care? Open Source Software is Open Source Software - it does not matter it it's publicly available via GitHub or Codeberg."
Yes, it does.
1) it creates visibility for platforms other than GH
2) it makes users go to Codeberg.org instead of GitHub. This saves them from needing to go to Github, with all the tracking / bullshit involved.
3) it draws users away from GH. If enough people do it, they will maybe focus on the basics again and won't annoy us with AI crap.
4) we need to decentralize. Not hosting all our software on the same M$-powered platform is a necessary part of that.
emilianosandri@thomas When open source activists protested GitHub buyout I believed they were making up an issue out of nowhere.
Copilot showed to me that they were right after all.

d@nny disc@ mc²@thomas github very directly arguing in court that when its users trusted them enough to host their code, that was tantamount to a declaration of transformative fair use (does their downtime transform it?), which furthermore openly contradicts their own terms of use......that's enough for me to identify a selfish personal motive to retract and retreat from the one company that has never stopped openly discriminating against employees
@thomas also, github literally actually just modifies your published release tarballs
Canuckistanian@thomas I've just started coding in Python and Git was part of the recommended install process, but not sure why or what it does
@Canuckistanian Git is a version control system. It allows collaboration of multiple developers in the same thing. And if you're working alone, it enables you to create snapshots or earlier software versions and much more :)
It's really worth checking out!

n0toose@codefloe No beef, but I must say, I find your marketing strat a bit counterproductive - it doesn't leave a lot of room for differentiation beyond private repositories (or making sure to include #codeberg in bios or @Codeberg in bios for little algorithmic gain - and not doing so here as an exception).
Not sure what your goal is and why you must comment in a negative way on almost all posts in which users mention us in a positive way.
We don't need a marketing strategy as we don't aim to monetize anything. We only aim to cover costs and make effective use of the money for proper hardware. Maybe something Codeberg could think more about as well ;)
And given Codeberg's supreme ethics, we are even more confuded about such teasing replies. But you're surely have your reasons.
We didn't really put emphasis on this topic (hardware, speed, overall deployment professionalism) yet, but if you're asking us to make clearer where the differences to Codeberg are, we can also push on this more 😉
@codefloe @Codeberg But like, honestly, I'm fine with what you are doing and I don't mind if you promote hardware/speed/whatever (that was precisely the point of what I said above - "you do/be you"); the reply you see above is 50% of all comments I've left mentioning CodeFloe in total (two) - I (this account is "personal") simply read notifications and I'm an active microblogger.
@n0toose @Codeberg there's always subtle interpretation to such posts so certain sentences might be interpreted differently.
We'd be happy to have a positive relationship with @Codeberg and possibly other future forges which promote an open ecosystem and @forgejo.
We believe it would beneficial it people wouldn't jump from one big instance to the next but that there would rather be a real base for federation. So the actual goal should be to push more "small" instances to become medium ones. And give them some presence. And ideally there would be more than just us, so federation does actually have a practical and not just theoretical future.
