With SourceHut banning projects that use LLMs[1], I’m looking to migrate this weekend.

While I can host Forgejo just fine[2], doing so means no one will be able to contribute to the projects, since federation isn’t a thing yet. Heck, getting contributions on SourceHut was hard enough, and it doesn’t even require people to register an account.

I might need to bite the bullet and go with GitHub. Regardless of what I think about the company and Microsoft, it’s where the people are.

[2]: And already do locally, as a mirror to SourceHut.

Oh my. I hadn't noticed this, but I've been kind of expecting it. I've been a big SourceHut user for years now. So I'll be having to decide what to do myself. I absolutely get their stance, but I don't see a world in which I will go back to writing meaningful amounts of code by hand again.

I may try out tangled.sh. It's really nice to have my code stored and backed up somewhere other than infra I control and manage.

		I'm personally pretty excited about Tangled (and ATProto in general), but I do have to caution that I've had some performance issues and some technical ones with hosting my own 'knot' and 'spindle' services

Codefloe looks like it could be promising. No real restrictions like other options. Time will tell.

Can't they either sign up for accounts on your Forgejo, or send you an IM to request a pull?

It ridiculous, Codeberg did the same. I get why, really, I do, but it's creating a severe damage that will be abused by a third evil actor that will take over the wasteland of GitHub and GitLab by creating a service that will allow anything (until it is enshittified of course)

Outcome? Everyone on their own self-hosted git servers, zero collaboration.

What kind of collaboration were you getting on your random GitHub uploads? I didn't get any. This collaboration thing seems like an excuse if people have a way to contact you.

Codeberg only banned projects that are majority LLM-coded. They did not ban all use of LLMs.

Everyone sticking to Github, then a year or two from now Github resolves their scaling issues and the competitors miss their window of opportunity to disrupt

		Not if they keep putting everything behind a paywall. I'm not going to pay 60 (20/user/month) euros per month to be able to restrict pushes to main. It's absurd. Sorry, this specifically gets my blood boiling so I might be a bit more aggressive than needed.

Vervis and Radicle both support federation.
