Is it not a big no-no to use Gitea now since the commercial takeover? From what I understand, Forgejo is the safe option and I am glad to hear from the other comments that it is getting support for that through ForgeFed!
Excuse me for being uninformed, but what is this about a corporate Gitea takeover?
That is a bit hyperbole. The domains and trademarks where transferred to a for-profit entity (owned by the main devs) and all that was done in relative secrecy which didn't go down well with the open-source community.
However for the time being nothing much changed and Forgejo is more of a "just in case" soft-fork.
They switched to commercial model last year.

AFAIK Gitea incorporated as a for-profit (which was supported), but there was some perceived(not intended to throw shade on any side here, just keeping it neutral) shady-ness from the perspective of the community. You can read more here in the open letter: https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/
