+# Welcome to my self-hosted forge
 
+I believe open source communities should prefer open source tools. I also believe that maintainers need protection from AI slop, while GitHub actively builds tools that are drowning us in it. Therefore, I am [giving up GitHub][give-up-github] for personal use.
+
+## Codeberg
+
+<dfn>[Codeberg][codeberg]</dfn> is <dfn>[my home][codeberg-sokai]</dfn> for collaborative open source.  Most new projects will be started there, and I am migrating established projects as I can.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> [Get started][codeberg-get-started] with Codeberg.
+
+## Forgejo
+
+I self-host <dfn>[Forgejo][forgejo]</dfn> for projects where contributions are not anticipated. It also mirrors several open source projects I have associated with.  You are welcome to [explore][explore-forgejo].
+
+> [!WARNING] 
+> Crawlers that ignore robots.txt may receive a [colorless, odorless, and deadly poisonous][iocaine] response.
+
+## Vestiges
+
+This GitHub account remains active for work and for open source that is not mine to move.
