Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?
Genuine questions. I’m assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?


It is almost trivial to move git code from one hoster to another. If GitHub becomes so bad, you just move.
A big issue though is that you can’t move other people’s projects for them. If I want to contribute to Immich, I have to be on GitHub. Cloning it somewhere the maintainers aren’t looking or accepting contributions does nothing.
