I mean since Microsoft bought Github. I moved all my code out of there (which is not a lot btw) /u/dessalines

    if you use gitlab/github, you will loose contributions from the people not wanting to use gitlab/github.

    github has received the most contributions because it is the primary work area, not because of your users like github most.

    I had issues open on gitlab and yerbamate for months, and advertised all three. Very few issues opened. PRs are still open on all three, but the only PRs have been from me and nutomic. So unfortunately no one is using them, although they do exist. Most people are still using github.

    You can issue PRs here if you don’t want to use github or gitlab: https://yerbamate.dev/dessalines/lemmy

    As far as issue tracking, I don’t really want to migrate all the issues, until a federated issue tracking system gets mostly working.

        yeah I noticed gitea doesn’t eat their own dog food, which reflects poorly on them.

        Luckily we aren’t limited to Gitea. You can avoid Github and Gitlab.com and use a 3rd party instance of a Gitlab installation. In that case there is no ethical issue and likely to functionality issue either b/c I believe the Gitlab s/w package is feature rich.

          I will make it simple, we are not going to move the main repo away from Github for now. There is no point arguing about this, or trying to convince us. If the situation for code hosting changes in the future, we will reconsider our opinion.
