💡 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.

☣️ #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.

Try @Codeberg today!

@bkuhn @downey @Codeberg

Or try @forgejo, the code #forge that #Codeberg is based on.

#Forgejo already has some #ActivityPub-based capabilities e.g. to federate stars, testing the waters for more to come. In their contrib community a whole @forgefed #ForgeFederation initiative is brewing..

I agree completely & in #copyleft- @next project, we're using #forgejo <https://git.copyleft.org/>!

The reason I mentioned @Codeberg specifically upthread (& not other options) is (a) 500-char limit on my server & (b) Codeberg is likely the best option for someone who wants to #GiveUpGitHub <https://giveupgithub.org> quickly.

Absolutely, #ForgeFederation is the future: #Fediverse for CODE!
