I migrated everything to codeberg several months ago (and created an annual donation schedule). I was never a big fan of github but what ultimately pushed me to ditch it was the way github was shoving copilot/chatgpt in my face without me ever asking. Codeberg has a clear stance on that and it's a stance I can totally get behind.

In addition I spun up forgejo at a server at home for very critical stuff and it's awesome.

Note: if your reason for switching is purely uptime, you will be sorely disappointed with codeberg

Their own site reports the 2 week uptime at 1 nine https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg and I suspect if you use the (really terrible) across-all-product-offerings uptime methodology that people love to post for github it would be a 0 nines overall service.

  • > Their own site reports the 2 week uptime at 1 nine

    If you look at github's uptime for that past 24 hours they're way below 1 nine.

    In all seriousness, the amount of time you amortize over matters - if you look at the status account here https://social.anoxinon.de/@codebergstatus the downtime is not bad overall even though recently it was rough.

  • The link you provided has shown a nearly perfect uptime. Your statement doesn't reflect the proof.

    Personally I have never had a single issue with Codeberg's uptime. Are you trying to argue that GitHub's is better for some reason (when it objectively is not)?

    • The link provided shows "Uptime (336 hours): 98.76%". That's one nine of uptime for fourteen days.

  • The reason for switching was shoving all the slop down my throat, even when just browsing. There are a couple of things I have published and a handful of others I plan on open sourcing some day so for the purpose, codeberg does a brilliant job. For work - meh i'm in a corporate environment running internal repositories on company servers so that's less of an issue still.

Note: If you use any form of AI-assisted coding tools, your project breaks Codeberg TOS

Codeberg for open source and Forgejo for private (and slop, if you're into that kind of thing) is what winners do

  • I'm not into that kind of stuff honestly: in my case Forgejo is for stuff I don't feel comfortable with leaving the boundaries of my apartment.
