> The ideologically forked Forgejo made some license changes and hard fork decisions that increased the maintenance burden even more, resulting in missing upstream features and decreased security. Forgejo is more busy managing ideals, than creating software.

And from other comments:

How do you come to the conclusion that Gitea has more development power? Looking at the Insights / Activities overview of each repository there were slightly more authors with more contributions to Forgejo over the last month. Acknowledging that this fluctuates I'd estimate that both projects are similarly active.

Also, Forgejo is actually dogfooding its development, which is much more reassuring than what Gitea does IMO.

I responded to that comment, but it does not address why you think Forgejo is lacking development power. IMO it rather shows a lack of understanding on your part of what Forgejo is today. It no longer is a superset of Gitea since the hard fork, but its own independent project instead. And as such it has at least comparable activity to Gitea, which is reflected e.g. in the unique features that Forgejo has, but Gitea doesn't.

As I've mentioned elsewhere [0], sometimes there's just fake outrage trying to associate drama or a general feeling of disapproval with a particular project.
