Well, guess I will take my repositories elsewhere.

When someone tells you "We cannot afford to support you anymore", do you also reply "Well, I'll take this burden to someone else who will be grateful to eat some cost in supporting me"?

Everything seems to be working out fine then tbh :D

Yes? Are you complaining people consume free services? Weird.

Thank you for respecting the new ToU.

Self-host ahem. Do it.

I really want to, as soon as someone actually implements auth federation in a large system. Forgejo is making some steps, but... It's hard to self-host without making contributions really annoying.

For self hosting, you're either large enough for people to go where you are regardless of the system, or you're effectively giving up the changes of having a community.

How about accepting bug reports and patches by email? You could make this an experiment and tell us how it went.

I can already tell you - my email has always been out there. Over the last 2+ decades, I received 0 patches and 1 bug report across everything I released. And I really don't want to deal with a patch attachment. So no, I wouldn't say that's the way.

How many did you receive on other channels?

Lots.

Interesting. I wonder if the other channel was closed and pointed to your email, how many it would get.

Oh no, anyway...
