I was recently considering moving to Sourcehut or Github after self hosting using gitrc for over a year. I have been going back and forth over self hosting versus leveraging an existing service, but this news and fumblings over Gitea last week have pretty much put me right back into self hosting..

- forgotpwd16 4y agoA takeover was announced a week ago (https://blog.gitea.io/2022/10/open-source-sustainment-and-the-future-of-gitea/ https://blog.gitea.io/2022/10/open-source-sustainment-and-th... ; discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33339421 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33339421).
