    Wasn’t the project bought out by some company, that now is behind this cloud service?

      No, some of the core Gitea developers decided to incorporate a Hongkong based for profit company to better monitize services offered to companies.

      This by itself is not such a bad idea, but it was communicated incredibly poorly with the community left in the dark for at least half a year and the subsequent fallout was also dealt with poorly.

      I think the best way forward for self-hosters is Forgejo because of that, but that doesn’t mean Gitea is currently a bad choice.

      That’s why the fork Forgejo was made. Codeberg uses that fork as well.

          I think they aren’t the ones who made the fork tho but just the ones with the most resources out of everyone working on the project. Correct me if I’m wrong.
