GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

I used to run Gitea and switched to Forgejo mainly because I prefer a community project over one run by a for-profit company. I never had any substantive complaints against Gitea during my time with it to be honest, but thought Iβd get off of it before investing too much further in case it went in a bad direction.
The transition of gitea to chasing profits was pretty messy too iirc and motivated the forgejo fork. Gitea lost a lot of good-will back then. Forgejo is also the base that codeberg runs on now.

Self-hosted Forgejo works well for my own use. My employer is moving to GitHub Enterprise where itβs a separate instance per company with certain infra shared. Should be a slight improvement, I guess, though probably not a bad idea to make sure internal tooling is built with the git forge being configurable. π
