## Graylist

These forges are not as seriously flawed as the blacklisted ones, but they should still be avoided if possible.  Non-Cloudflare sites that use a Cloudflare NS server pose a risk for disruptions because they can trivially and spontaneously flip a switch and route all your traffic through Cloudflare, potentially cutting access to some of your contributors.  Dead sites are also graylisted because if they come back online, they are known to be unreliable.  Codeberg is graylisted for falsely accusing a repository of illegal conduct and deleting the content of all forks from that project without evidence or redress.

⚠ Gitea versions note: Gitea 1.14.0 [breaks][gitea-bug] emoji in some browsers. So the best version ATM is 1.13.7 which opendev.org runs.
