Same here, i've been on Codeberg since 2022 but if this passes, i'll most likely move my stuff elsewhere (my projects do not even have any AI code, i just dislike the idea of telling people what tools to use to make their own stuff).

I dislike GitHub and i'm using a shared host for my website which wouldn't let me install something like Forgejo (this is by choice as i don't want to bother with sysadmin stuff, my site is almost all static HTML with only a couple PHP scripts for some minor tasks). So i guess i'll be migrating to GitLab, even though i do not really like its UX. Or maybe i'll use some other Forgejo instance like CodeFloe. URLs aside, migrating between Forgejo instances should be easy.

Yep. I have a self-hosted Gerrit instance that I was using for other more private stuff. I could in theory move over to there.

The downside is then having to worry about backups. But also lack of all the other "forge" things like issue tracking and so on. And lack of public exposure.

Frustrating, really. I felt welcome on Codeberg up until now. But that Mastodon thread is... wow.
