| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-blog.gitea.io | Welcome to Gitea - Blog | May 06 00:54 | |
| schestowitz | | | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | Found this blog post that summarizes what happened. The date of the fork is indeed november 2016. The same problem that prompted the fork happened again in 2019. One maintainer is simply not enough if you want to step out of the hobbist world, not for a project like this. | May 06 00:54 |

| schestowitz | you’re just being silly there. Gogs is on github as much as gitea is, so I don’t see why gitea being on github should be a point in favour of using gogs. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | im not being silly, youre just missing the point. first of all, im not saying that gogs is an alternative. im saying that gitea isnt. you keep getting that part wrong. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | we DO need a fork of gogs, so we agree there but you respond as if i dont get that. but imo we need a fork of gogs that isnt github-based, and gitea isnt that. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | You’re making a moot point about code disappearing since git is distributed. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | youd have an easier time understanding if you quit speaking for me and creating this straw men. im not sure youre doing it intentionally, but its certainly keeping you far from the point im actually making. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | i doubt the code would disappear, because someone would likely have a copy. thats far from the only problem of trusting github. | May 06 00:54 |
| schestowitz | And besides, at least migration is planned. | May 06 00:55 |
| schestowitz | now there you go, if youd said that from the beginning (i actually look for signs of these migrations, its always good to know) then i would have agreed with you sooner that gitea is more promising than i thought. thank you for the good news. | May 06 00:55 |
| schestowitz | Either way, if you’re unhappy about the project you should complain to them and not me. | May 06 00:55 |
| schestowitz | now youre being silly. you go around telling people not to give bad advice on a public forum, proposing gitea as an alternative, and you expect nobody else on said forum to comment JUST LIKE YOU DID. | May 06 00:55 |
| schestowitz | thats not realistic at all. i wasnt commenting on gitea itself, i was commenting in your comment. good luck to you. | May 06 00:55 |

| schestowitz | Migration can’t happen overnight, not even one year to the next. In fact they are already hosting their code on a gitea instance but a full migration to pure gitea hosting likely requires federation first, or the project would cut itself out of community. I encourage you or anyone else interested in doing their own research (gitea’s issue page on github is a great source of info). | May 06 00:55 |
| schestowitz | My point however is about vulnerabilities in the code and the capacity to respond quickly to serious bugs by the project maintainers and under this aspect gitea is superior. | May 06 00:55 |
