Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

codeberg is such an obvious choice, i have no idea why people don't immediately switch from GitHub

They don't allow for private repos, so it's a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.

What? All my codeberg repos are private.

If you do not want anyone (apart from your fellow collaborators) to see your repositories, mark your repository as "Private".

There are terms and conditions for private people too regarding this (read next two sections): https://docs.codeberg.org/...

I love codeberg but can't move my private, non-foss repos there. FOSS repos for sure though.

they also have a limit of 100 repos, so I can't even migrate everything I have on github

Check out Forgejo, it's what codeberg uses as far as im aware. They're the only ones even attempting to put the fediverse into git

Don't know if GitLab counts as alternative (it has no bullshit according to Brave Shields, and AFAIK they're independent)

Brave has already had several leaks and a history of selling data, that’s why I switched to LibreWolf.

Selfhosted Gitea ?

Probably codeberg, or gitea instance somewhere

I run my own Gitea instance at https://git.benetou.fr/ but I admit didn't look much at the federated aspect, yet.

Sadly I just checked https://forum.gitea.com/c/federation/10 and despite few attempts, e.g. https://nlnet.nl/project/Gitea/ and eventually potentially upstreaming via forgejo https://forgejo.org/... that does not seem to be usable right now.

I'm checking https://forgefed.org/ which I learned about via checking federation on Gitea and it looks nice, in theory, but until I see an actual list of instances federated together I'll just applaud the effort from afar.

Same as in the other thread, I'm going to recommend fossil-scm.org

Works for me.

Gitea is Google which is obviously a no-go.

Please explain how "Gitea is Google"

Can’t edit. Gogs I’m happy to see did receive security fixes 3 months ago. Also Gitea being a no-go…get it, no-go…hahah.

It is good and proper to hate Google services.
