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.

Personally, I think it’s great to have multiple options in this space. I think we can all agree that self-hosting (or using Forgejo/Gitea on a smaller platform, e.g. Codeberg) is preferable to centralizing absolutely everything on Microsoft GitHub.

If you are not a Gitea customer, you are not being informed of security updates in a timely manner:

Gitea repeatedly makes choices that leave Gitea admins exposed to known vulnerabilities during extended periods of time. For instance Gitea spent resources to undergo a SOC2 security audit for its SaaS offering while critical vulnerabilities demanded a new release. Advance notice of security releases is for customers only.

Oh no, it doesn’t do the big feature™. I guess it’s unusable now.

I wish people would realize that software still works and is excellent even without the various flagship features. I use Kubernetes on a single node. I know there are people who use matrix without federation and e2ee because it’s actually a really good chat app, it just struggles with the performance demands of federation, and the e2ee ux isn’t quite there yet.

  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.

  Has Gitea even given any indication that they want to work on federation themselves?
