What’s the latest in Forgejo vs. Gitea?

Sometime in 2024 Forgejo became hard fork no longer merging Gitea code so both projects slowly diverge. But i think momentum is on Forgejo side. Codeberg is popular and development seems to be stable and solid.

I'm on the Gitea TOC. The fork does still merge from upstream. The Gitea project has 4x'd the number of monthly PRs we handle (~400) and have increased the maintainers teams, and the number of contributors. I'd say we have a lot of momentum.

They jumped the shark to become cryptobros in 2022 and are Open Core now, why would you still want to use Gitea? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33339421

Hi, I'm on the TOC of Gitea, and I can definitively say that there is no cryptocurrency in Gitea or related to Gitea. As well, the project is not open-core, and you can verify that yourself by going to the project and seeing that all the code is MIT licensed: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

So you're saying the press release promising a DAO and "an enhanced enterprise version" was not truthful?
