its a bit of a tangle to juggle between different git hosting services, so im
going to lay out some very not strict rules for myself.
im comfortable handling all patches alone
stuff that doesnt deserve any particular spotlight, outside of laughing at with
friends (most of my code)
self explanity
think people would like to see it / take from, and more accessible site for CVs
too many githubism features, hard to migrate a project off of. not even largest
microsoft hater, just it wayyy to big and monolithic for my tastes, while
providing unique tooling that other services dont have (or need)
dont want to gatekeep collaboration if its just for some non techy friends who
cba to learn patching and all the other fluff, not that much of a dick, github
does certainly makes it easier for new people
mailing lists tickets etc all in their good ole classic forms. very portable
ci for so many platforms, even has 9front lol
can even "special request" ci over email it seems (presumably $, but still)
once/if the popularity factor of github is negligible, only limiting factor is
the from 0 knowledge to using time, which presumably will still be higher than
github. really hope it does, sourcehut is tremendously good for open source
community, dont even think that its debatable. also just better than any
similar-scale alternative :p
not hugest fan of federation over self hosting but future could lead it to
worthwhile places. worth keeping an eye on (and rooting for, id say) for sure.
fits weird niche of self hosted but with github tier tooling. could fit
depending on the software being held in it, but too clunky for personal repos
and too learn-new-system for everyday collaboration. like it a lot tbh, but
fits such a weird niche i dont have a use for it. might make a gemini interface
for, could make it more useful to me.
