    I consider it a hostile takeover because the majority of the community was betrayed by their actions, and they switched from a democratic to a fascist governance model

      It was absolutely a hostile takeover. And now the copyright thing. It’s obvious what they want to do with the former community project.

      Fortunately the awesome Forgejo fork exists.

      I think you first need to define “community”. The majority of the code contributors seems to have been actually fine with this change and continue to contribute to Gitea. Only a minority moved to Forgejo.

      Personally, I also prefer Forgejo because I share their concerns about the future of Gitea owned by a for profit entity, but let’s not invent a false history here.
