This is from last month, but I haven’t seen any discussion of it. Seems like Forgejo is now a hard fork of Gitea, instead of being a soft fork like it was over the previous year.

The main reason I’m posting it now is this: “As such, if you were considering upgrading to Forgejo, we encourage you to do that sooner rather than later, because as the projects naturally diverge further, doing so will become ever harder. It will not happen overnight, it may not even happen soon, but eventually, Forgejo will stop being a drop-in replacement.”

    I’m not one to fight for software taken over by a corporate that is against FOSS. If you like Gitea, stick with it till you have a problem

      My concern is that this hard fork means “till you have a problem” might be too late for a smooth switch.

        I’m not going to be able to convince people to move. I’m sticking with Forjego until something goes wrong.

          I’m not trying to start an argument, just looking for that balance between “gitea hasn’t done anything wrong yet” and “what if forgejo runs out of steam and the project stalls”
