The Forjero commits prove that this is incorrect (they are still busy removing Gitea branding related things from their code). It's going to take a long time until they begin to match the Gitea momentum.

I'd hope so! I am not interested in many of the features being added to Gitea (i.e. the momentum you allude to[1]). I want a light binary I can continue to self-host on a Raspberry Pi Zero that doesn't have Docker installed.

1. I feel Gitea is being positioned as a competitor to GitHub and GitLab - good for them! However, the previous iteration was close to perfect for my needs, albeit not very monetizable. I'm glad it got forked and will be side-grading to Forgejo.

> (i.e. the momentum you allude to[1])

The momentum stalled when the community was plagued recently by toxic behaviour of one of the members who started the fork. He had to step down from the "well-being" team[1], bullied a moderation team member into stepping down[2] and forced him to disclose information from a private chat[3].

Now he is trying to "reboot" the community to erase his previous bad behaviour [4]

Forgejo members are also unhappy about conflicts of interest of this individual [5]

The Forgejo community is stronger than this one individual, so it will succeed.

Wow, that project looks toxic.
