On the train ride back from Patna (#BiharFOSS), @ravi and I sardonically thanked Trump for the state of things in the US, which may have been why #GitHub disabled the #OrganicMaps repo and forced them to move to #FreedomRespecting #Forgejo.
"This will hopefully teach people why it's important to boycott #proprietary platforms. But why do people always wait around for such things to pass? #FreeSoftware activists had been warning them for like 10 years!" (Also...Sourceforge???)
@contrapunctus @ravi isn't the issue in this case orthogonal to 'big US corp exploiting you' and aren't they likely to have exactly the same issue on codeberg?
@contrapunctus@en.osm.town@simon Ideally, one would #SelfHost, on one's own terms. And if one moves to Codeberg (which uses #FreedomRespecting Forgejo), one still has the benefit of easily being able to move to a self-hosted Forgejo later. That's not so easy with GitHub and its mountain of proprietary features.
Thus, self-hosting is best. Community-run instances like @Codeberg and @disroot come second. And #proprietary platforms are a plague.
