Wonder how easy it is to migrate issues, pipelines, wikis, etc. to a different remote repo provider. Because that’s what comes with what these users are calling for.

GitHub is a blessing and a curse. Open-source has over-centralized on a MSFT-owned platform that has no qualms with vacuuming up code for its AI.

But since most developers like myself are already there, it lowers the barrier to opening issues, starting discussions, and contributing code. I don’t want to have to check notifications on 4+ platforms. I don’t want to have to join some Discord or figure out how to search for messages on Element. (I realize I’m part of the problem.)
