I guess I'm out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
They probably don't. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
Probably just the weird name. It makes it feel like someone’s weekend personal project.
I use it to self-host my own code and it works great, I’m totally moved off GitHub now.
I don't even know how to pronounce it. Forge Joe? For Gay Ho?
For-j-o

Any product name that needs a voice file to explain itself is a bad name 🤦 what were they thinking?

Rijndael is pronounced AES.
Yeah, this is news to me. I think Codeberg runs on Forgejo, and just the other day people were singing its praises when GitHub became part of Microsoft's AI team. This feels like a sudden shift.
Another git repository is hosted not on itself?
Seems like a weird choice.
That's like the CEO from Microsoft going on stage with a MacBook.
Codeberg is a service. Forgejo is a platform.
It's more like how a warehouse company doesn't build its own forklifts.
Personally uaong forgejo myself and it has been smooth sailing for ages! This is the first time ive ever seen people taking a stance against it, though the ones in the comments sidnt seem to have a good argument.
