Personally I am conflicted. On one side gitea switching to a for-profit is worrying, even if they didnt do anything wrong yet. I like codeberg (non-profit behind Forgejo), but I also want to support devs actually working on the product. So I think for now I'll stay with gitea, but I won't hesitate to migrate to Forgejo if they start to act stupid

gitea switching to a for-profit

It did not "switch to a for-profit". The company structure only exists to provide a way to hire gitea developers for paid work. The project owners are still elected by contributors: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#technical-oversight-committee-toc

For now. But n the long run the focus will shift to profit. That's a totally normal thing.
