>>26957<sourcehutnot compatible with my workflow + it adds so little that writing my own would be easier than adapting to it. besides, I don't trust the developer, he will eventually "sperg out" and so something stupid and harmful for users
<github<gitlab<bitbucketlook and feel slow and bloated. they are both becoming worse every day that passes, yesterday they added another sidebar that does nothing but slow downs your browser, today they added another banner telling you about their new paywall and enterprise plans, and tomorrow they are going to sell your data and code to "train AI" (wash off the gpl from your code)
<gogs<giteesame but chinese (I think?)
<giteait is what gitlab used to be. in 2022 it was acquired by venture capital so it will go exactly the same way, eventually
<forgejoa gitea fork maintained by a non-profit. the only features I want from these platforms are the git ui and the issue tracker. my releases are just git tags and my tooling is simple enough I can run tests locally so I don't need the fancy parts. it is the best option right now imo
github might be better for discoverability because everyone is there but I don't think there are many people out there going to /explore to search for libraries to use in their projects. besides, they have incentivized a flood of low-quality repositories so you can't depend on it to give visibility to your code. you have to do it yourself, so even in this regard it is equal or worse than the alternatives
