Nice. Yeah I dont 100% agree with everything in the article, but the general gist is one I agree with. I see more open source devs starting to make the migration to other platforms.
I dont like having 90%ish of all git repos all in one handbasket. Even if MS was benevolent, its not good to have all things in one place. A bad actor could take down all of GH and we would be screwed.
Im seeing some people talk about codeberg. I personally have my online mirrors there. I also personally host my own forgejo with my new projects. Thats my stack at the moment.

That is not how git works though. If github disappeared today it would be a lot of confusion, but the code exists everywhere it is checked out. The owner/maintainer (or anyone really) can just add a new remote and push it. If they use github specific features like issues, they would be lost though.

I hope that trend continues. Codeberg is my homepage for the time being. I’m finding substitutes there.
I’ll check out Forgejo too, thanks for the recommendation!
