The Gentoo Linux project last year announced plans to move their code hosting to Codeberg rather than GitHub. Gentoo’s desire to move away from GitHub was motivated by Microsoft’s Copilot training on GitHub repositories. Those plans are turning into action now with the main Gentoo project up on Codeberg and honoring pull requests.

Gentoo announced today they now have a presence on Codeberg and are welcoming code contributions there as an alternative to GitHub. Initially it’s their ebuild repository being hosted on Codeberg while eventually all Gentoo GitHub repositories will be migrated. Codeberg is based on Forgejo and hosted in Germany as a non-profit.

    Again, i could be wrong here, but it sounds like you’re expecting a group of people who have shown no interest in moving on any of their positions to change their minds because you are drawing attention to content and behaviour…that they don’t deem to be an issue in the first place.

    That sounds like screaming into the void to me, but as i said, i really don’t understand the nuances at play.

    Injecting activity into non-.ml comms and growing them beyond the .ml version is probably the next best thing to wide defederation.

    At least it gives those advocating the Threadiverse on the outside something to say when people inevitably bring up tankies on Lemmy. Makes them less relevant.

    Isn’t the system expected response to such irreconcilable disagreements to start your own instance (with optional hookers and blackjack), enforce your own rules and regulations there and let people decide which they prefer (if any)?

    Kinda, it helps dilute the waters further, but doesn’t really solve the root issue

      This makes sense.

      It’s probably something obvious i’m missing, but what is the root problem ?

        The Lemmy network and the Threadiverse at large being associated as just a Tankie hangout

        For example, this was from a Reddit thread last week I saw when it was just starting to get big:

        In this case Rimu (PieFed dev) and others were quick to jump in and steer, so hopefully this whole boycotting/cross-posting campaign at the very least gives them more fuel when these comments come up on the outside something like “Tankies are there, but they don’t have any important comms so you can just block those 3 instances or join [x] instance which blocks them for you”
