Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008.

@mitchellh Is it mostly the outages like you describe in the post? Or is that just the latest problem?

For me, there are philosophical differences. The removal of the most popular "sponsor" option, meant I lost most of my sponsors a few years ago. The flippant answers from MS saying they were doing that "to provide more options", when it was obvious they were *removing* a popular option.

Their decision to train AI with our content, and also move the entire GitHub organization under their AI umbrella.

Codeberg is where I moved. If outages are an issue, then Codeberg may not be for you since they seem to suffer from DoS attacks every once in a while. But the philosophy when it comes to open source is what made me leave GitHub.

Coming months. I took that to mean he wasn't ready to share. Maybe a misinterpretation on my part.

@BauarbeiterforFuture What is a search engine?

@hipsauerkraut @mitchellh

@mitchellh
Good move
I moved from github to codeberg in 2023

[xenotar@mastodon.social]

@nkanaev @mitchellh Codeberg?

[xenotar@mastodon.social]

@charette @mitchellh Me too

@toolbear

Ah, I thought you were saying the author had said where they were going, because that's what the earlier person asked. You were saying the broader question of what the author was doing was in the article.

@mitchellh It hurts when something you’ve developed an emotional attachment towards turns against the principles that created the emotional attachment in the first place.
And emotions should matter. They’re core of being human, widely increasing the processing power we’re able to harness, not a weakness to be stifled.

@mitchellh it's pretty easy to install #Forgejo #OpenSource

[mosen@hachyderm.io]

@mitchellh sorry to hear that. I hope we find the people who do care about making a better forge and help them make it an amazing place too!

[mabdalrahman@mas.to]

@mitchellh It would be great to have a GitHub alternative that works in a distributed way, like Mastodon. Instead of everything being on one platform, people could host their own servers but still collaborate with others easily. This would give developers more control and reduce dependence on a single company.

@nkanaev @mitchellh We switched to @codefloe and setup a yearly donation.

[hokid@mastodon.social]

@mitchellh "GitHub is the place that has made me the most happy", I don't know man, that sounds grim.

[ml@social.mitexleo.one]

@mabdalrahman that's what Forgejo (the software that codeberg runs on) is working on.

Answering Forgejo federation questions

(forgejo.org)

Protocol: https://forgefed.org/

#forgejo #git #fediverse #federation #activitypub

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@mitchellh we're big fans of @Codeberg . They're working on federation, so in the future there might a whole network of Forgejo instances. Worth the investment.

[joepbc@mastodon.social]

@charette @mitchellh I also expected to read more arguments like this tbh.

[namuro@mastodon.social]

@mitchellh Despite the apparent composure, it’s quite emotional.
