Github or not Github for releasing some open source stuff? I do not really like Github for many reasons, but IMHO releasing on any other service is a bit like shooting into the void. It&#39;s a bit different when well known project leaves Github from me (no one) releasing on other service, because in the first case at least part of community and maintainers would go with the project, when in second one people would just shrug and forget. #github #gitlab #codeberg #gitea #oss #foss

@djvdq@mastodon.social releasing on GitHub is not much different. the only difference is how many people have accounts there. but quantity is quantity, so there's no reason for more people to see it, or help out

@djvdq@mastodon.social Yo acabo de publicar en Gitlab y, de momento, sólo en Gitlab porque tengo las mismas dudas que tú. Es tremendamente fastidioso querer compartir el software que uno ha creado con licencias opensource en sitios que no son de convicción propia pero que son donde publica una inmensa mayoría. Si quieres visibilidad..

@djvdq@mastodon.social I moved back to GitHub for this reason, but if you don't want to choose one over the other why not use both (with one being a mirror of the other)?
