Go for deltachat or arcanechat, both are compatible. Actually floss, decentralized, secure, self-hostable (but you don’t need to), doesn’t need phone numbers or id or whatevs

I see your point and I think I agree. Maybe I’m willing to let it pass because I happen to agree with the decision (and would also agree with the hypothetical ban of Rails). Ultimately, it comes down to what you said: whatever you use, you should see how to become a full member

I still don’t see the problem with Codeberg’s decision. Of course they will kick projects that they don’t want, just like github will kick projects they don’t want. The issue isn’t what is and isn’t allowed, it’s who allows it, as it always has been.

Of course selfhosting is one way to control it, but in Codeberg there is a process to be part of that governance, which the author didn’t partake in. At which point there is nothing more to discuss, get in the governance first and then you can write a blog post about how the governance is bad, isn’t aligned with you or whatever.

It’s 2026. Who still expects things to be perfect with a third-party without participating ? Be part of the governance, selfhosted or not, always
