So, everything you mentioned are reasons I’ve heard for people to switch from GitHub to GitLab, which is why I explicitly mentioned them both in the question.

So far no one has given me any advantage specific to codeberg. (Keeping in mind that GitLab is already open source, self-hosted, and federated via ActivityPub).

What exactly is the advantage of codeberg over gitlab and github? People just say “miscellaneous privacy benefits”

What was perforce’s solution to this? If you delete a file in a new revision, it still kept the old data around, right? Otherwise there’d be no way to rollback.

Isn’t it explicitly against the rules of most of those to trade invites?

I’ve heard of almost all of those things.

What’s a HA proxy?
