馃搯 We happily host #LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar on @Codeberg from day one! We love the democratic and nonprofit approach of the organization. Hope a lot of #FOSS projects will make the move.

馃挕 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.
鈽ｏ笍 #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.
Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.
Start today.
The attention involving Codeberg is still going on, and there is a LOT of support as well as some typical heated social media moments. Please, do us a favor:
- Please be nice to people that choose not to use your favorite service or treat them as if they committed a cardinal sin.
- Please don't go up to a random group of people playing Uno and get mad at them because you want to get included but they won't play Monopoly like you want them to.

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!
First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?
Between #GiveUpGitHub and #iNaturalist jumping the "AI" shark, I'm extra grateful for infrastructures like @Codeberg that have democratic governance mechanisms to give contributors a real vote and power in decision making.
I hope more folks use those opportunities to find infrastructures that they can actually co-own, instead of wasting time & energy in dictatorial platforms that at best "make the community feel heard" (notice the subtle difference between being heard and feeling heard).

We, the operators of this social media account, sometimes face dilemmas about what we want to post. For example: "Are you a Hubber and want to become a Berger? We're looking forward to you!"
Love it or hate it, one thing is certain: It doesn't really matter, because others are doing our marketing today. 馃檭
Next, have you tried a static site generator for browsing git repos? Here's a list of SSGs for git, sorted by latest commit (fresh to stale):
* reporat https://www.ratfactor.com/repos/reporat/
* git-arr https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/
* depp https://git.8pit.net/depp/
* itsy-gitsy https://git.trevorbentley.com/itsy-gitsy/file/README.md
* pgit https://pgit.pico.sh/
* stagit https://codemadness.org/git/stagit/file/README.html
* gituwa https://git.mcksp.com/gituwa/
* repo2html https://git.m455.casa/repo2html/

People justify continuing to use #GitHub in all sorts of ways.
"OK, they're owned by Microsoft who has spent decades trying to crush FOSS, but..."
"Yes, they steal code to feed their planet-destroying LLMs, but..."
"Sure, they help ICE enforce fascist policy, but..."
"Yes, they're supporting genocide, but..."
There's no "but" clause that justifies supporting all of that.
Values require sacrifices. This is the price we pay for the world we want.
Don't collaborate. #Resist #GiveUpGitHub
