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.

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

    This makes sense.

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

    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”
