server solutions nowadays.

One real issue I find with projects on a self hosted instance is that if people want to report issues or contribute - they have to create yet another account.
You dont have to selfhost your own git repo, you there is sourcehut (sr.ht) and @codeberg .
Both are respecting your freedom.
@selea Yes I agree this is less convenient for others to directly contribute on repo :-/. @codeberg seems really cool but even a non-profit organization can go wrong in my opinion.
There is also a possibility on the self hosted Gitea to enable OAuth2. With that people can just connect through their 
or 
accounts.
This is not perfect but it's still another step toward the liberty.
No matter where you host your public git repo, you could have a mailing list for contributors to report bugs and submit patches. Git is designed to be used over e-mail after all.
I sadly only know of freelists.org that provide a free service, it would be nice with more mailing list service providers for free software developers.

i think we have to distance from the thought of free-as-in-free-beer stuff.
paying some dollars for sourcehut every month was one of my better decisions :) the pricing also is really fair for the value delivered. i think the overwhelming majority can spare what amounts to the price of a take away coffee, but iirc they are giving you a free account if you really don't have any money.
it's just the complete opposite of the venture capital startup model and i really like that.
