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?
For what it’s worth, Codeberg/Forgejo is working on adding federation features that will (eventually) connect different instances together to rebuild the “social network” part of things without centralizing on a single individual instance, much like the Fediverse is working on doing for other social networks.
Federation doesn’t fix the problem, at least not in its entirety. I posted a longer comment in another thread but the long and short of it is that accounts need to be portable if it’s going to work for a git hosting solution.
