I've never understood this argument. Even if self-hosted things were offline more often (which I've never found to be the case, I've had Forgejo + runners running for a year now with no downtime), the real benefit is that you yourself can work to bring it back online when it does, rather than waiting on a large, slow-moving organization to figure out what slopped PR caused their global service serving ungodly amounts of RPS to go offline again.

I wrote my reply before yours appeared but it's basically agreeing. A simple Forgejo hasn't given me any grief. It really seems simpler.

Maybe they're hosting in us-east-1 though :)
