1.0 would be the perfect time to have the code, bug tracker, etc. migrated off of Microsoft GitHub
Would lose a lot of visibility. Gotta pick your battles
Visibility to who? Normies? Search engines favoring corpo slop? You could make a readonly mirror if felt it necessary (it isn’t). If you have a modus operandi for you product or service, you would be better off choosing tools that align with those ideals. This instead says collaborator privacy/freedom is not our priority & we don’t actually follow our values.
I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren't finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren't interested in creating a second account.
We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.
