Let's share @codeberg and Free Software together.

@ademalsasa
Been meaning to join Codeberg for a while. I'm currently happy with GitLab, but yes we should definitely be pushing use of better, freer alternatives.
@codeberg @schestowitz
@syntax @ademalsasa @codeberg @schestowitz I'm also interested but at the moment gitlab CI is the reason why I'm not switching. Are there (decentralized) alternatives for that, that are equally embedded into the platform?
@der_On
Admittedly I don't know about GitLab CI.
@ademalsasa @codeberg @schestowitz
@syntax @ademalsasa @codeberg @schestowitz GitLab CI is uber usefull: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/
I use it for all kinds of stuff, together with webhooks.
@der_On @schestowitz @codeberg @ademalsasa @syntax it's a bad idea to use gitlab.com. See https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/30312/comment/2239. OTOH, there is nothing wrong with using framagit.org or git.jami.net (#gitlab instances for the free world)
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @schestowitz @codeberg @ademalsasa @syntax I've run my own gitlab instance for many years, but it soon outgrown me and the number of projects I needed to host on it. You need a really powerfull server and maintain it very good together with a good backup strategy. I'm very open to ethical alternatives or gitlab hosters that do not grind my wallet.
@der_On you are right. For now I am interested in @codeberg (https://codeberg.org) and @sir's Sourcehut (https://sourcehut.org).
@der_On one good news came from the @fsf as they planned to make an ethical code hosting alternative: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/coming-soon-a-new-site-for-fully-free-collaboration.
"... (FSF) is planning to launch a public code hosting and collaboration platform ("forge"), to launch in 2020. "
@syntax @ademalsasa @schestowitz yes! :)
