Where would you host your code if you prefer non-for-profit communities with FLOSS commitment? (feddit.de)

My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don't seem welcome.

The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.

I can recommend Sourcehut, it's still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn't a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.

FLOSS dedicated Git hosting in Germany, it's a Gitea instance AFAIK.

I've seen many people use Codeberg recently.

If you are willing to self-host and are scared of the gitea license shake-up, use forgejo.

When it comes to self-hosting, there's also the costs. Hosting providers have been hitting me with price hikes one after another this year, so I'm looking into shutting down some servers instead.
