Where is a good place to move? Preferably in Europe and non-profit.

Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.

There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!

Just a small note: Forgejo is the software, while Codeberg is both the umbrella organization developing Forgejo and a large public instance of it at codeberg.org.

Oh thanks, I've learned something thanks to you. I knew there was a link between the two but didn't know what.

I’ve been slowly working on a set of decoupled services that could replace some aspects of GitHub.

https://pr.pico.sh/ — a pastebin supercharged for git collaboration.

https://pgit.pico.sh/ — static site generator for git repos.

Both are still WIP but I think they are pretty handy
