Interesting how they build a community starting with rebasing on top of Gitea, and then hard-forked later. Probably a good blueprint for forking.

GPL move also seems like a good idea - it reduces the chance of needing yet another fork.

Can they get whoever came up with the excellent name "Codeberg" to fix the terrible name "Forgejo" though? It's not quite as bad a name as GIMP or Got, but still...

Also i absolutely hate how they talk about moderation. You can't just say "someone was banned for some actions". That doesn't inspire confidence at all! Imagine if the police were always saying "one of your peers was sent to prison for a crime" and refused to say who or what they did. That's communist Russia territory...

They claim they can't say because of the right to be forgotten but that's not what the right to be forgotten means.
