So why isn’t @gitea hosted on @codeberg?It’s looking a bit ridiculous at this point for it to be on GitHub.https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029#gitea #codeberg

@aral @gitea @codeberg Hosting the Gitea project on a Gitea instance instead of Github was brought up when Gitea first joined the Fediverse, here's what they said:https://social.gitea.io/@gitea/107012273804263595So, it seems Gitea are trying to move to an instance at gitea.com but it's taking a long time to complete the move due to Github's ratelimiting and the vast amount of data involved.

@FediThing @gitea @codeberg If GitHub is holding Gitea’s data hostage, this should be a should scandal. Please let us know if this is the case. I’m sure we can get that sorted very quickly once it comes out that that’s the only reason (if it’s the only thing holding this back).

@aral @gitea @codeberg Gitea must be bad if the developers are not even using it, so why should I?

@aral @gitea @codeberg @dean they are, they're just not using it for the most important repo and that one only

@aral @gitea @codeberg @dean they are, they're just not using it for the most important repo and that one only, with migration almost completed but not quite there yet

@spla @aral @gitea @codeberg if Gitea is not good enough for their developers to pull away from GitHub ... yet. Do they expect anyone to move away from GitHub to Gitea?I would love Gitea to succeed and like the idea for Federation, but they are not leading people.

@dean @spla @aral @codeberg I'm not sure if you've tried to migrate a repo with 20K+ issues/PRs (and all the comments/other metadata that comes with it) from github, but their ratelimits are extremely low. So we are making progress towards migrating away, but we don't want to lose any information in the move. We are in fact using gitea every day, and have moved all but the main repo to gitea.com.

@gitea Right, so basically GitHub is holding you hostage.This is a scandal.A trillion-dollar company holding an open source project hostage by drip feeding it its data… *smh*How long has your migration been in process? Were you able to contact GitHub? Did anyone reply?Time to get some eyeballs on this as it’s entirely unacceptable.#GitHubGate #Gitea #GitHub #dataPortability #lockIn #foss #git

@aral our migration has been in the process for a while, but every time we run it we find that our attempts were missing some data, so we need to re-run to fetch missing data, if we had higher limits it wouldn't take so long to find these issues. Github doesn't provide tokens with higher limits, so we have to work around that. We even had people with GHE subscriptions ask, and they got the same response.

@gitea @aral is it a matter of money? I mean can tokens with higher rates been bought?I think an updated mirror of Gitea should stay on Github, but in read-only one-way mirror. Github, we like it or not, is an actual hub for newly users of git, and it is good to have a probe there to attract/educate people that alternatives exist
