Ask HN: Why not use Codeburg (or Source Hut)?

2 pointsbitbasher1mo ago6 comments

GitHub seems to get more and more bad press these days and it has me wondering why people are not moving to Codeburg (or Source Hut)?

8 years ago, when Microsoft bought GitHub, there was much digital ink spilled and some people/projects did leave for GitLab or elsewhere.

So one explanation would be that anybody cares already has left.

I'd like to leave, but is a lot to lift for what amounts to a reliable/durable git remote storage.

Reliable?

to data loss, which why I included "durable"

1. Free CI with GitHub Actions

2. Aesthetics

3. Network effect

Also, the security section is rather lacking. There seem to be no fine grained access controls.
