Github is like the Microsoft of 3rd party forges.
What self-hosted software you use is not hosted on some third party forge?

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)

Suspiciously so (͡•_ ͡• )

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

That’s called dogfooding, not self-hosting :)
Let me get this straight though: I’m not saying no project self-hosts their code (eg. IIRC both KDE and Gnome do), I’m just saying that the majority of FOSS projects (including those that are dedicated to self hosters) does rely on some sort of third party to host their source code.
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize a FOSS project just because they rely on a third party (even commercial ones) to publish their source code.
