GitHub has always been generally a platform that doesn’t align well with my and many peoples’ values regarding open source software development, I only used it because it’s the most popular.
Recent events regarding GitHub and its management have raised a greater consciousness about the nature of the service,so I was wondering if it would cause any problems for me to move to either:
- codeberg.org
- a selfhosted forgejo instance (git.phtn.app)
Or if everything is fine as is.
It’s a tough question. Lots of people use GitHub because they want “stars”. They want their project to trend so that it gets more attention, and thus more users, and thus more contributors, thereby making it a better product.
That being said, if Photon had zero improvements moving forward, I’d still be very happy, so my vote is yes, abso-fuckin-lutely.
