    Where is a good place to move? Preferably in Europe and non-profit.

    Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.

    There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!

    Just a small note: Forgejo is the software, while Codeberg is both the umbrella organization developing Forgejo and a large public instance of it at codeberg.org.

    If you’ve never tried GitHub alternatives, you’ll be surprised by how good they are (I definitely was). Many of them match the feature set of GitHub and some even surpass it.

    Do you have some comparison documentation or benchmark to share comparing for example GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut and Codeberg?

    I did not succeed in finding something comparing these forges about: -CI/CD

    • runners
    • issues
    • project management
    • wiki
    • releases management
    • third-party tools

    I am used to GirHub and GitLab but not Codebeg 🤔

    Last time I checked, GitLab wasn't GDPR compliant. CodeBerg is better - and even better is to use many small sites or even self-host stuff.

    This will be overcome some day, but the black hole destroying international cooperation that has appeared in the US will keep us busy for some years - and it is important to harden projects as well as communities against it.
