# 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, but keep _[using it][github-sokai]_ for contribs @GH (only).

## Codeberg

[Codeberg][codeberg] is _[my home][codeberg-sokai]_ 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 [Forgejo][forgejo] for private things and projects where contributions are not anticipated. It also mirrors several open source projects I have associated with.  You are welcome to [explore][explore-forgejo].

> [!NOTE]
> Based on heavy ongoing traffic from AI crawlers and bots I had to restrict the public forge access.
