And @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org is right. Not being on Github is a good thing IMO. Even when I was there with all my many projects, I basically got the same amount of “attention” as I do now. The only real way to gain more “attention” is to artificially play the “game”. You know. The stupid “Stargazer” one, and whatever you can to get into the “Top 10 X” charts. – But ultimately that doesn’t buy you “quality” contributors or users or whatever. So it’s all pointless.

@prologic@twtxt.net Even without the gamification and AI, I don’t host anything on GitHub. Just the fact that it’s owned by Microsoft spells trouble, in my opinion.

I still have an account, for occasionally contributing to a few specific projects, since a lot of developers wouldn’t know what to do with a patchset, and since many users of GitHub/Lab and Codeberg use send-only email aliases, so git send-email probably wouldn’t work.
