Why aren’t people moving away from Github? There’s Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What’s holding them back?

    There’s also lots of people who become developers because they want to build the best software they can and don’t care to spend time thinking about whether one open source hosting platform is better for their code over another if they accomplish the same thing.

    Your response is insanely narrow minded and judgemental, not everyone chooses to fight the same battles you do.

      Nowhere in my comment did I imply what you are saying. Please don’t project your internet grievances onto me. The two are not mutually exclusive and I in no way implied that they were.

        Fair that they’re not mutually exclusive, but you did imply that that’s why the majority don’t switch.

          I refute that categorization actually, I never implied that it was most, only that some number of people do indeed fall into that category and I’ve seen it with my own eyes to be true.

          Mostly my post intended to point out that not all devs give a single solitary fuck about FOSS and I would even go so far as to argue that yes, that probably constitutes a majority. Furthermore this attitude is likely a contributing factor (not the only factor by any means) towards the lack of excitement around switching over to open source version control web platforms.
