    Preface: I appreciate the sentiment, fuck Microsoft.

    1. Projects typically aren’t “hosted” on code repositories like GitHub.
    2. Because the underlying version control technology, git, is meant to be distributed - it’s super weird to draw that line in the sand. It’s like saying “show me TXT files written with SublimeText, I hate Notepad++!”
    3. I get that you might want to, like, judge a developer for using github? But, like… features are features. Build minutes are build minutes. If you fork a repo and use GitLab to manage it, does that make the project better?

      If you want to contribute to a project developed on GitHub, you need to have a GitHub account. So it does matter.

      @shnizmuffin @Zen

      Issues, milestones, discussions, pull requests, build logs, they all stay on the chosen host. That host can then add specific conditions to creating accounts, or participating in the discussion, searching code etc. Such as force you to have a phone number in your account, otherwise you won’t be able to comment on issues. And all of these things might be locked in without a way to export and migrate to another host, so yes, it definitely matters where the project is hosted.

        It would be nice if platforms like Forgejo and gitlab could hook into some sort of review and issue tracking protocol that was built directly into git, like git-appraise. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like git appraise is actively developed.

    Gitlab:

    • brillo - Control the brightness of backlight and keyboard LED devices
    • Gammastep - Day/night gamma modifier that adjusts the color temperature of your screen.
    • Veloren - An open-world, multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust

    Codeberg:

    • Fnott - Keyboard driven and lightweight notification daemon for wlroots. Better than mako (IMO).

    SourceHut:

    • Kanshi - Dynamic display configuration tool for wayland
    • Senpai - A modern, easy-to-use, terminal IRC client
    • Shotman - Fast and simple screenshot GUI written in Rust, for wayland.
