I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

      This one is a bigger issue. One of the projects I used to contribute to moved to Gitlab, and saw a significant decrease in organic contributors. GitHub simply has more users, better SEO, and a better ecosystem

        Personally, I’d like for everything to be on Codeberg or something but I guess that’s far away.

      True but GitHub wasn’t always Microsoft and at least in my experience moving between git providers is a pain

          There is more than enough freedom in GitHub to set a license as you see fit. Stallman is being obtuse.

            GitHub allows you to select any license (including a proprietary license) or no license at all. This does not mean that GitHub encourages one to select a free software license or any license at all.

            In 2014, John Sullivan, then Executive Director of FSF, also asserted that GitHub’s choosealicense.com was anti-copyleft.

            Anti-copyleft bias noted by Stallman and Sullivan is evident from the very beginning, from the founder Tom Preston-Werner himself. In 2011, Preston-Werner wrote that one should “open source (almost) everything” under a permissive license, because the GPL is “too dogmatic,” but keep “anything that represents business value” proprietary.

        How is it a pain? You just change the origin on your existing project, and new projects you just use the new one to start with.

          You gotta change the origin on every deployment you have. Update environment vars, reconfigure tools. You have to port all your PRs over somehow. Your issues. Your documentation. All the access keys. Etc.

              Are they embracing activity pub? I read it is just one guy in the community working in it.

              And the vast majority of users are on GitHub, looking for code on there. Having activity pub on other forges will not change that big time:-(
