I cannot wait for Gitea, Forgejo, and GitLab to start federating with each other via ActivityPub. Then we can all take one more step away from a corporate-controlled internet.
Downvote me to grey-world if you like, but I think everyone's crazy to put all their code infrastructure in the hands of fucking Microsoft. Especially literal free open-source software. Who do you think Microsoft is? What do you know of Microsoft's history and their core values (they're "embrace, extinguish & exsanguinate"). It's like giving fucking Sauron safekeeping of your power-rings in Mordor, oh we have great infrastructure for safe ring storage here, very secure, the orcs are really expert guards.
ps. Sharepoint <shudder>
so it's actually very hard to switch
Only slightly kidding.
> The design of git makes switching to another primary remote very easy
It is never as easy as just switching to another primary remote.
It's not just Issues/Wikis/Releases, but the build/CI process(es) that are rampant on GitHub now, the community you've built potentially coming up on GitHub and not really getting that there's anything else out there, etc.
This is all time consuming hard work. People will often just not do it, and this is why we have lock in everywhere. Stop calling it easy.
The centralization of the internet around a few specific services - like GitHub, Cloudflare, and so on - is an increasingly problematic thing to contend with.
Edit: "as a easy" -> "as easy"
Even my open source projects in github are just mirrors from the "real place" of work: gitlab or my own gitea instance. If github is down, it is a minor inconvenience but I can still work.
