      My last ban was for “Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence”.

      My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was “Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary”.

      I appealed, and the ban was upheld.

    I still use GitHub due to the convenience, but a lot of folks on Lemmy like Codeberg. I also setup a Gitea mirror of my GitHub the other day and it’s pretty cool. Easy to self host

    i selfhost gitlab for my own use. its similar to github, but is a bit of a resource hog and the project tracking is a bit wonky to use. i have heard gitea is really low resource usage, but has fewer features.

      We run self-hosted versions of both Gitlab (ce and enterprise versions) and Gitea.

      They’re very different things, but broadly what you say is correct. Gitea is lighter, it comes as a single binary and is really fast in operation. For most people, most of Gitlab’s featureset will never be used.

      Keeping them up to date:

      Gitlab has repos for most distros, so updating is really just letting it update alongside the OS. But it does that every two weeks and is very noisy about reminding all users the second that a new release has dropped. (So I get a bunch of emails about this critical new release) Features seem to change quite often.

      Gitea has no repos, and doesn’t self-update. However, I’ve written a script that checks and if it’s a new version, then it’ll download the new version and replace the single binary.

      Both are pretty reliable at not introducing breaking changes when updating, I’ve not had many issues.

      I’ve done a bit of research and forjego is seemingly the better version of gitea.

      Its a fork of Gitea by the community after Gitea started doing some suspicious things, I can’t remember what they are.

    Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can’t tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.

    You could self-host GitLab, though if you’re looking for exposure it’s probably not the best.

    I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don’t even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.

      Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.

      They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.

      I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.

          It doesn’t (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.

          What’s even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for ‘hate speech’. That’s when I knew Reddit is fucked and I’m never going back.

        Welcome 🤗.

        Avoid .ml and other tankie communities, otherwise most everyone is generally nice.

        Communities are still taking time to build up, but you get to contribute meaningfully to a community of mostly like-minded people. ✨

        You won’t get banned for saying fuck you to a neo nazi in the main instances.

      Got banned for telling some one “fuck you you neonazi apologizer”. Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.

      They didn’t ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn’t say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also okay with white people colonization.

      Funny how things work.

      Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore 😂. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place

    Codeberg for sure! I only just made an account on it, but I’m planning to use it :)

      should be pointed out that codeberg is just a hosted and branded instance of forgejo (nothing wrong with it just pointing it out)

    I’ve been self hosting but various projects have moved to codeberg. I like Savannah as it’s more old-school but it’s a bit selective about projects.
