GitLab vs Codeberg (toast.ooo)

I've seen some comments about how "gitlab bad" or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

Actually, I also got back to GitLab when I read this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/activitypub/

Usage of ActivityPub in GitLab is governed by the GitLab Testing Agreement.

The goal of those documents is to provide an implementation path for adding Fediverse capabilities to GitLab.

~~I think this is the way, while using Codeberg would mean storing my code and my stuff on someone else computer~~, I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.

EDIT: Ok, people already told me Codeberg uses a fork called Forgejo and I can host it myself, which sounds super cool.

You are comparing GitLab (the application) with codeberg.org (the website operated by the codeberg e.V. non-profit). A fair comparison would be gitlab.com (the website operated by GitLab Inc.) with codeberg.org or GitLab (Community Edition or Enterprise Edition) with Forgejo (the application powering codeberg.org). They can be fully self-hosted and are both planning to implement AcivityPub-based federation.

I heard Gitea planned to do ActivityPub too, but I didn't like their application, and also I didn't like Woodpicker-CI which was very limited some years ago, I lost much time learning and trying to do the same as I do with GitLab-CI and couldn't. But, I need to try Woodpicker-CI again to see if I can do it now.

I didn't know about Forgejo, thanks to mention it, I'm sure I will try it very soon, and Woodpicker-CI. 😆

Forgejo is working on federation since November 2022.

I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.

You do realise you can selfhost Forgejo and you do realise Git is actually distributed? You can easily mirror repositories on multiple instances or even your home computer.

Now that you both mentioned yeah, thanks for mentioning it, I want to try this again.
