So why not use forejo, which is completely open source?

If your criticism is MS pulling the plug, then Gitlab pulling a Redis/Hashicorp move and re-licensing their core should also be a concern

Absolutely! I’d always go the Forgejo route!

The thing is: I don’t see Firefox being hosted with Forgejo. The code base and amount of data might be way too massive. I see Forgejo as a forge for smaller projects.

Is there a reason you think Forgejo is only for smaller projects?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've never seen larger projects like Firefox hosted with Forgejo.

Probably because it has only existed for 2 years
