@kuenefe it depends...I've been using the #Forgejo instance hosted by @disroot since I already have an account. For @snipette I used to maintain a dedicated Gitea (later Forgejo) instance installed via #YunoHost, because we had a bunch of tools that we wanted to publish 
The "go-to" option nowadays is @Codeberg (again running Forgejo), which we use for @prav 
Besides Forgejo, there are a bunch of more minimal options like #sourcehut and #humungus
Bravo to SourceHut for making noise about this. No, site operators should not just "handle this volume of traffic". Foisting rising resource requirements on site operators will centralize the web.

Is there anything wrong with #sourcehut pages right now?
Very nice, #sourcehut is more using #anubis. For code forges, it really should not be skipped. So many crawlers just do not care of what you say can be used.

i wish sourcehut projects could link to man wikis...
Never tried myself, but would https://github.com/magit/forge work as an interface to #MSGitHub?
(Everyone should move to free alternatives anyway. There are plenty. #Codeberg by @Codeberg, #Sourcehut, various community #Gitlab instances...)
I don't think centralization can be avoided completely. Or LLMs.
However, by using the services of #SourceHut or #Codeberg, I believe, one acts rather than says: "I trust you. I support you. Fight this fight for me. I'm too small/busy/specialized, but you can do it! I care."
That's why I struggle with these lovely open source alternatives my original question is about. What these projects care about? What's their added value?
LLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut | sr_ht status
｢ SourceHut continues to face disruptions due to aggressive LLM crawlers. We are continuously working to deploy mitigations. We have deployed a number of mitigations which are keeping the problem contained for now. However, some of our mitigations may impact end-users ｣
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies.

LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.
I'm considering setting up a mailing list for the blog. i was wondering how i could go about writing a script or build function on my Sourcehut that would convert every new post into an email that it then sends to, say a Sourcehut list? maybe Emacs has something i could use?
Migrating #sourcehut to #codeberg is busy work but it feels good. Also moved my monetary support to Codeberg as well.
I can't stand bullies.
Using an Org-mode README on SourceHut blog post

Read in a #SourceHut news blog post published by Drew DeVault a few days ago (thanks @neauoire for pointing it out!):
"This work is part of the bigger picture work to move SourceHut entirely from the US to the EU, in particular by processing payments through our European entity and in accordance with European laws and regulations."
#Sourcehut seems much more attractive right now, doesn’t it?
@nosherwan I really like #sourcehut and #codeberg
WTF #GitHub, I never opted in to your stupid #Copilot prompt prompts. And I want my pandas plural, tyvm.
(Don't worry fediverse, GitHub is not my main forge, I only go there to follow projects that aren't hosted on #SourceHut or #Codeberg.)
I know being fully dependent on US-based infrastructure is a bad idea. This is why I have been looking into alternative ways of work
The fediverse and Non-profit code forges
Put your energy & resources into those if you care about digital sovereignty
Thanks for sharing @sarahjamielewis, great to see more work being done on independent code-forging. Have you given any consideration to interoperation with other forges? Eg implementing @forgefed along with @forgejo and others who are working on that. Or using Git's inbuilt features to interop with SourceHut instances.
Trying to create a #codeberg account and I find out that my usual username is already taken... and I don't think I created myself. Aaarrgghh!
(I also created one on #sourcehut just for this reason)
Also I would really like to see decentralized #code #hosting grow. #Development is not only about the code itself (git is already decentralized) but also issues, roadmap... around it.
I will keep an eye on https://docs.radicle.xyz/ and https://forgefed.org/
#decentralization #github #alternative
@kerravonsen Yes it's great to have multiple alternatives to #GitHub. My primary git hosting is my home network, secondary is #SourceHut (US/EU) which is retro and minimalist, but I see many projects now starting/moving to @Codeberg (EU). @forgejo is the self-hostable software that powers Codeberg.
(plz hire me)
