The problem is wanting contributors. I want to release open source software, contributors (which mostly means bug reporters and entitled users) tend to be a drag turning a hobby project into work.

Remember, open source doesn't mean to accept any inane suggestion or PR from anybody. The best software is the opinionated and limited-in-scope. If people want to add an MP3 player to your project, they can always fork it.

And since using GitHub basically means training AI undermining my career, for free, so that Microsoft can turn a profit, the choice is simple, really.

Disclaimer: I am still using Github because I haven't found the time to set up my self-hosted Gitea instance just yet.
