Comment on I built a self-hosted affiliate tracking platform — here's why I think self-hosting affiliate software actually matters

  Old habits die hard. Github’s for discoverability. I self-host gitea. For FOSS projects I’d choose Codeberg though.

    Do people actually discover projects by randomly wandering on github though

    I mean, it’s all links, a link to github or a link to codeberg won’t change much

  What self-hosted software you use is not hosted on some third party forge?

    Forgejo.

      Even that is questionable to say the least: while codeberg is the main fogejo contributor, the forgejo project and codeberg are separate entities with separate governance and funding.

        But Forgejo code is hosted on a Forgejo instance. Not a third party forge like Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc

    Github is like the Microsoft of 3rd party forges.

      Yep but eksb’s comment was about selfhosting, not FOSS or ethics (same can be said for this community, although that’s less relevant than the specific comment of course)
