Forgejo is a hard fork of gitea that occured after the leadership took private control of the logo and branding, started developing proprietary add-ons, and building a business around it.
Forgejo is developed under Codeberg e.v. which is a German non-profit.
I think it’s still a drop-in replacement for gitea.
Personally I think we don’t have to be perfect in this. Migrating from the bigger services to self-hosted instances is a win in my book.
There was this famous quote - originally in the context of waste reduction - that got some traction within this movement too:
In this context I personally prefer Gitea. Very lightweight and straight forward to self-host.

Thank you so much for that background info! Will migrate my Gitea instance to Forgejo. Was quite fresh anyway, better do it now than later.
Huge parts of the sample config still say “gitea” as parts of names etc.
