I also read it more like a explanation that the donation model didn't work towards a sustainable long-term development, where with the new strategy they can collect money from larger organizations to keep the project funded.

Codeberg just announced support for Forgejo. It’s a soft fork and a drop-in replacement for Gitea. Let’s switch to a fork with a future.
