Don’t use Gitea, use Forgejo - it’s a hard fork of Gitea after Gitea became a for-profit venture (and started gating their features behind a paywall).
Codeberg has switched to Forgejo as well.
Also, there’s some promising progress being made towards ActivityPub federation in Forgejo! Imagine a world where you can comment on issues and send/receive pull requests on other people’s projects, all from the comfort of a small homeserver.
Ohh, my bad! I thought the person you were replying to was asking about Gitea. Yeah, Forgejo seems truly free and also looks like it has a strong governance structure that is likely to keep things that way.

ActivityPub integration on git remote repos sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing that, I’ll definetely take a look at Codeberg/Forgejo.
Can’t wait for forge federation, it’s super annoying that I need an account for each individual instance just to report a bug
What features are paywalled?
From here:
None?
If you need action runners you have to ask for them which is fair as it’s expensive.
If you self host it’s all free.
This sadly isn’t true anymore - they now have Gitea Enterprise, which contains additional features not available in the open source version.
I think we were talking about Forego, but now I’m not sure.
To be clear Forego is what I was stating didn’t have pay walled features. I know Enterprise auth works, but I haven’t used the others yet.

radicle.xyz checks those boxes, but it’s gossip protocol, not activitypub.
Still cool, though.
doesnt have issue tracker
It does, but it’s a little obtuse to use.
oh it must of benn a new update
