Are you using #github for #FOSS ?

Small request: could you use FOSS instead?

Don't make #Microsoft your gatekeeper, use like #forgejo #codeberg or something.

@dcz @conservancy @karen Thanks for this link. The use of GitHub annoys me a lot. In some repositories I made issues regarding migration to #FOSS. Next time I will add this link.

@janvlug @conservancy @karen I got sage advice from Karen: create something on Github for your project so you can lead people to your real repo and inform people about the problem.

I'll do that for #libobscura .

Also can't wait for #forgejo to federate. Without the help of network effects I am not sure Github can be dethroned.

@dcz @janvlug @conservancy @karen same [re federation]. Though I'm happy to give out accounts on my private gitea for established #liminix contributors, there's no way for people new to the project to get started except by old-school patch-based workflows or by using their own hosting that I can pull from.

I do mirror to github (this was fairly straightforward to set up), and it's possible that some people looking at it "over there" think that's the canonical repo

This approach is in a way related to #POSSE.
