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.

Only difficult part is moving pull requests and issues.

It would be kinda funny as an excuse to run away from the issues tab though

it's not so hard. you can just link previous PRs for comments, and re-home them. you can make a PR cross-platform it just won't necessarily render right in the web UI.

git is stupid powerful. reject web UI return to email list (Linux kernel vibes)
