    @mitchellh Fair enough. What alternative are you considering moving to?

      @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.

        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 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!

                @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.

                        @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.

                                    @mitchellh What are you choosing instead? I’m currently setting up a self-hosted Forgejo instance. However, it’s not an ideal solution until ForgeFed is stable and integrated.

                                        @r0k @bitbraindev @mitchellh Isn't that the graph, that is green going back decades, because instead of saying they don't have past measurements, they are showing it as available by default? https://github.com/DaMrNelson/github-historical-uptime/issues/2

                                          @SchwarzeLocke @r0k @mitchellh good catch, it makes the impact look more severe. That being said, it doesn't change the rest of the diagram which still does not look okay.
