There are many examples of opensource developers receiving full time payment from the community. Krita, Godot, and more all exist long term.
You can earn a living, and respect user freedoms.
Woodpecker is community-run, and Codeberg is a non-profit running the biggest Gitea instance.
> You speak negatively of Gitea, highlighting a fork because they were working on a CI
The for-profit Gitea company released the integrated CI/CD that should not be trusted because it was a code dump and worked on in secret. You can read more about the hostile takeover of Gitea at the open letter https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social
> Woodpecker which itself is a fork of Drone CI
Drone CI is not open source, and does not respect user freedoms.
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.
