Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.
Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit
This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.
Super minor, but the codeberg team “self-hosts” their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.
self-hosting is great but that still means datacenter someplace. I’ve been using GitLab for some time now and CodeBerg “feels weird” to me. But then it could be my biases and “muscle memory”. I’d say whatever feels right for you.
Unlike other big name Git hosting company who chose to use AI to “steal” from hosted projects other two did not stoop that low. So there’s that.
Usage of ActivityPub in GitLab is governed by the GitLab Testing Agreement.
The goal of those documents is to provide an implementation path for adding Fediverse capabilities to GitLab.
I think this is the way, while using Codeberg would mean storing my code and my stuff on someone else computer, I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.
EDIT: Ok, people already told me Codeberg uses a fork called Forgejo and I can host it myself, which sounds super cool.
You are comparing GitLab (the application) with codeberg.org (the website operated by the codeberg e.V. non-profit). A fair comparison would be gitlab.com (the website operated by GitLab Inc.) with codeberg.org or GitLab (Community Edition or Enterprise Edition) with Forgejo (the application powering codeberg.org). They can be fully self-hosted and are both planning to implement AcivityPub-based federation.
I heard Gitea planned to do ActivityPub too, but I didn’t like their application, and also I didn’t like Woodpicker-CI which was very limited some years ago, I lost much time learning and trying to do the same as I do with GitLab-CI and couldn’t. But, I need to try Woodpicker-CI again to see if I can do it now.
I didn’t know about Forgejo, thanks to mention it, I’m sure I will try it very soon, and Woodpicker-CI. 😆
I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.
You do realise you can selfhost Forgejo and you do realise Git is actually distributed? You can easily mirror repositories on multiple instances or even your home computer.

Actually, I also got back to GitLab when I read this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/activitypub/

Forgejo is working on federation since November 2022.

Now that you both mentioned yeah, thanks for mentioning it, I want to try this again.
no, you can also self host on your personal computer and simply mirror everything that you’re throwing on Codeberg.
Well, their ulterior motive is to provide a service to the public.
