Publication about the monopoly of GitHub and the fact developers should move elsewhere if they care about their freeedom and the freedom of FLOSS projects
I just use GitLab.com and mirror relevant repos to GitHub for job and portfolio purposes.
Last time I checked, GitLab wasn’t GDPR compliant. CodeBerg is better - and even better is to use many small sites or even self-host stuff.
This will be overcome some day, but the black hole destroying international cooperation that has appeared in the US will keep us busy for some years - and it is important to harden projects as well as communities against it.
Yeah, I might consider CodeBerg but why use many small sites?
Decentralization.
I don’t think it’s necessary to go that far to just host my code. Also seems like a terrible idea, I wouldn’t rely on a random small website to host my project I’ve been working on for the past 4 months
