Move to Codeberg (esp. if you're European) - but please don't forget to donate something as well. If we don't pay for actual freedom, we won't be able to keep it.

Also note that it's for open source projects only.

The underlying software forge Codeberg uses, Forgejo, is self-hostable. I'm sure some web hosting business will get around to providing a managed hosting offering eventually.

All projects should be.

I agree with you 100% but theres also a small strange humour in the wordage of paying for freedom.

It's a play on "free as in beer ...". We've seen all too well that paying with our data isn't the way to go.
