View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
I would argue that Microsoft is not as bad as Google. They definitely were in the past, but they've been moving in a good direction. Microsoft is for example a strong advocate of open sourcing.
That said, Microsoft still has major issues (like privacymanagement in Windows 10).
So your comment has gotten me thinking. I will take another look at the pros and cos of the platforms, and will let you know if I make a change. Thanks again!

Both platforms offer similar feature sets, but I don't think any of the alternatives have the same community size as github. That said, perhaps you could look into a mirrored solution. It would require more work on your end of things, so quite understandable if you don't want to do it, but there's ways to have repos on GitLab and GitHub mirror each other. It's a bit of a pain to deal with pull requests and merge requests, but it'd let people contribute on their platform of choice.
I only bring it up because I recently read an article about how to set that up while I was trying to figure a similar solution out for myself. I'll post it in an edit if I can find it again.
