ı dont understand why people host things thats not aligned with corporate interests into GIthub, gitlab while Codeberg, GItea etc exits
Also self hosted GitLab, since it's open source.
Running your own host is more work and costs money. And is harder to do anonymously.
I'd rather not have to create an account on every individual's instance to report bugs or contribute.
GitHub is low barrier to me - where I can easily contribute. Because I'm already there, actively. Everything else is medium to high barrier to contribute.
Don't group gitlab with github
for visibility, also codeberg is quite hostile to piracy related tools and whatnot, gitea is quite small not many instances and it gets unwanted attention. if they self-host, that's even more risky because domain names, hosting etc can get tracked down to the owner. decentralized solutions are the best for these kind of things
Decentralized git repos 🤔
