Would you like to tell why you don't trust the forgejo governance? Are there any specific points or only a "feeling"?
Ok, found above
> Codeberg.org's fork of Gitea (Forgejo) has a governance structure that is more appealing in that it is not profit-oriented, but I'm nervous about overmoderation in the Forgejo community [2]. Constructive opposition to the election of moderators (based on their past abuse of authority) got edited away as "ad hominem attacks" and has since been completely deleted from the election thread.
Interesting, never saw smth like this, maybe this has changed over time. They now log any moderation so you can ask for the moderation actions. And when a comment is deleted an information message gets added by the forgejo moderation team to inform about the deletion.

- lolinder 2y agoI elaborated on the incident in this comment [0]. I read the comments that got deleted and they were constructive and informative. Not only did the Forgejo team edit them, they appear to have gone back and deleted them entirely and there's also no record on the Internet Archive. The only public record that there was any opposition to that appointment at all is a random Hacker News thread. I'm very uncomfortable with speech being censored unless there's a very clear reason (which there wasn't in this case) and I'm even more uncomfortable with it when the topic at hand is the appointment of a new moderator.
