Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

thanks for the info, fortunately with it self hosted I can migrate if/when I have problems, but it's working fine for me for now.

Your reason for not moving over to forgejo is the exact same reason i'm still on github.

So basically just shot down your own argument.

The truth is overrated. Next time, lie thru you teeth.

Already have that on the todo list and the transition will be completed in the next few months.

No one would have blinked had you said that.
