Sure, I know a lot of projects have been on GH since before MS bought it, but they’ve owned it for quite a while now, so we really should be seeing better migration out by now, no?

Codeberg is nonprofit which seems more in the spirit of the Linux ecosystem overall. GH is for-profit…

EDIT: All right, all right, I’ve gotten schooled. Thank you, O wise ones; I didn’t realize how much Microsoft literally depends on Linux, among other things. I will proceed to shut up.

    Why wait until it gets that bad versus at least duplicating elsewhere now?

    so why aren’t you volunteering your time and effort to help at least one project migrate, instead of just complaining they haven’t?

      I like your action-oriented thinking! However, I’m not complaining; I’m warning and inquiring. I also didn’t name/target any particular project; I was just thinking about the relative size of the two orgs and I find myself just generally living in the FOSS space and trying to encourage it as much as possible over for-profit in today’s era of hyper-greedy capitalists, more and more.

      I posted here first to check why people aren’t moving before bothering to assist with migrations myself, and I’m glad I did because I’ve come to agree that due to Git’s distributed system, it’s generally not worth it and is probably good enough for devs to pack their bags quickly enough should Microsoft pull any further shenanigans. Should that day come, sure, I’d be happy to help!
