GitHub has always been generally a platform that doesn't align well with my and many peoples' values regarding open source software development, I only used it because it's the most popular.

Recent events regarding GitHub and its management have raised a greater consciousness about the nature of the service,so I was wondering if it would cause any problems for me to move to either:

  • codeberg.org
  • a selfhosted forgejo instance (git.phtn.app)

Or if everything is fine as is.

I mean, i'ts your project. It's your baby. You do what you think it's best for it.

I don't think GitHub userbase number is going to drop dramatically any time soon (same thing with shady-associated services like Reddit, WhatsApp, you name it) but I'd bet everyone who would think about contributing to Photon already has an account in Codeberg (me!) or has the means do collaborate in Forgejo.
