It looks like Codeberg just banned all cryptocurrency related projects, but it was to be expected, given the CEOs relation with Drew DeVault and them taking more far-left stances as of late.
I guess there is simply no viable alternative to GitHub unless you self-host. Maybe the Git-over-Nostr solutions would take off, but I am sick and tired of people bringing unrelated politics into the FOSS movement.
Honestly this shit is why my first commercial game has no code repository of any kind and why that might be the official policy of my studio. Our games are FOSS as in you are free to share and/or modify the code, but we don't accept any collaboration with the outside world. I'm sick of the drama of the FOSS community and I don't want Ioncom to be a part of it.
@xianc78 pretty much my stance but out of laziness more than anything else lol
@beardalaxy Honestly, I feel like public code repositories should only be used if you plan on collaborating. Instead, they are used as code dumping grounds used to build CVs/portfolios. I feel like that's a complete waste or as Terry Davis would say, "littering the Internet."
@beardalaxy And I'm obviously not opposed to using private repositories as you need to collaborate with other people in your studio, but that can easily be done on a self-hosted server and I plan on using Fossil for that.
@beardalaxy I use Cryptpad which is like a FOSS, self-hosted, and end-to-end encrypted Google Drive. There is currently no desktop app, but everything is encrypted and decrypted client-side so even if you are using someone else's server, they have no idea what you are doing. It also has real-time code editing which prevents version conflict.
@xianc78 straight up i just use google drive with the desktop app lol, it has file versioning and it is way simpler than git is. it's also the only cloud app that rpg maker actually works with, otherwise shit gets corrupted. it means i always have an updated version of my game on my laptop, my computer, and the drive and then i can make backups on physical media like usb drives and CDs.
