I'm planning to write an article covering the @Codeberg platform.

What would you say is the "main" reason to join it? Why do you not use GitHub or GitLab and what's your thoughts about the future-proofness of such independent platforms?

If you know any "hardcore" Codeberg user on Mastodon, please ping me!

@tobonaut @Codeberg It's FOSS, it respects your privacy and your right on the code you upload on the platform.

It's not made for-profit but rather for users who want to contribute to make the FOSS ecosystem more free than being in a corporate platform.

It respects your privacy, and your rights over the code you upload on the platform, rather than allowing themselves to use your code to train an AI or other stuff.

The community is open and you can contribute to either Codeberg or to any of the stack they run behind, such as Woodpecker or Codeberg Pages.

@captainepoch Yep. Furthermore it’s democratically governed so I’m not just a “user” but, by contributing to it financially, I’m a member of the association and get a voice in how it’s run, should I choose to use it.

I’m slowly moving all my repositories from GitHub to Codeberg. The main ones are Kitten (codeberg.org/kitten/app) and Domain (codeberg.org/domain/app) – the cornerstones of the thing I’m working to build that I call the Small Web (ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-s).

@tobonaut @Codeberg

Codeberg.orgappA web development kit that’s small, purrs, and loves you.

@aral Look awesome! It is always amazing to see when people take action and try to change the world, or at least something! I really hope that you can settle in and have fund and productivity gains on Codeberg :)

@tobonaut Thanks, Tobias. I’m just supporting it in my own little way. But I’ll CC the @Codeberg folks so they see your kind words :)

@tobonaut @Codeberg (Oh and if you mean about Kitten/Domain/Small Web, thank you. Trying.) :)
