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.

Whether you self-host or use codeberg is your own decision, but I think the best solution is to move from GitHub this is a project for lemmy and piefed anyway most of us support FOSS and are against big tech, so I don't think there would be less amount of contributions if you moved away if that does happen tho you can keep the GitHub page and use it for issue tracking I have seen many projects linking their issue tracker on GitHub to their source code on codeberg.
