The headquarters is based in San Francisco
No. Self host and use Forgejo
Codeberg is great for your open projects, but not for everything.
do lemmy devs have plans to move their repo away from github?
I haven’t seen any issues that suggest Codeberg migration for the Lemmy and Jerboa repos.
This has been posted many times (which is ok! Always a good idea to spread awareness!) so I will repeat a thing everyone should know just in case it’s not known:
I love codeberg, but note that codeberg specifically states they don’t tolerate non-FOSS repos.
You can have a private repo with the goal of opening it, but proprietary code is not welcome.
Our mission is to support the creation and development of Free Software; therefore we only allow repos licensed under an OSI/FSF-approved license. For more details see Licensing article. However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren’t perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness of the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues.
Edit: wording
Gitlab is FOSS, as long as their code stays that way, and trustworthy, and you avoid their 3rd party US-based servers by self-hosting you should be fine.
Avoiding anything and everything that even exists in countries like the US and China or Russia even if completely transparent & FOSS or non-profiting is kind of crazy imo
In general you should aim to self-host & use FOSS as much as possible, regardless of where it’s developed. This gives me similar vibes to when Linus Torvalds banned Russian people or people with Russian names or email addresses from Kernel development.
I know this is buy European, but for people who are more interested in buy non-American and less specifically only European, Bitbucket is owned by Australian company Atlassian, and free accounts get unlimited private repos, and relatively reasonable pricing for small teams.
It’s a bit less geared towards open source than GitHub or gitlab, but that is available too. I’m not sure how it works.
Whoops Atlassian has 4 offices in the US including SF and NY
Everybody has offices in the US, by that standard you will not buy anything anymore.
Linus Torvalds is Finnish but he lives in the US. Does that mean we can’t use Linux or Git?
