and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

    The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub. If people won’t be able to transfer ALL their repos over, not concerning themselves with what is compatible, that would be substantially harder to achieve.

          GitHub is a business making a profit from git hosting for corporations.

          Codeberg is a non-profit explicitly for hosting free software projects (FOSS).

          What is Codeberg? On Codeberg you can develop your own Free Software projects, contribute to other projects, browse through inspiring and useful free software, share your knowledge or build your projects a home on the web using Codeberg Pages, just to name a few.

          I don’t think they’re delusional enough to think their mission is to singlehandedly kill proprietary software.
