codeberg's fine, but it's not decentralized. It's a single org running a forgejo instance somewhere in europe. It also banned AI generated code and crypto projects. If you're not doing either of those, codeberg is possibly the easiest way to get off github.

If you really want decentralized, you can look at radicle. Or you can self-host but that would be unwise if you're new to it all.

I'm probably gonna go with codeberg. But I'm also anticipating a fascism-induced rift in the internet and I'd like to anticipate where the cool kids will be hanging out.

If you want to go utterly mad, you can use rngit https://reticulum.miraheze.org/wiki/Rngit and broadcast your git server using your own hardware over an entirely different "internet". Then if the actual internet goes down, people can still send git patches
