They list gitea but not forgejo. That's not really advocating for FOSS. "all" (the ones I looked at) are startup products coined as open-source.

I really don't like this website and this list, to me this is replacing bad solutions by other bad solutions (I am sorry for the people that like firebase and co).

I am sorry for the negativity but I really don't enjoy this link and all it represents and all the people enjoying such content. I guess I/we should explicitly separate FOSS from open-source.

I may be out of touch and should be educated on why/how this is good.
