Well, I'm not exactly a random guy. I have a lot of involvement in open source out there plain to see, and sr.ht itself is open source so you can just run it yourself.
>Crucially, there's no imperative to leave a platform just because it might be slowly dying. If it does what you need it to do, and do it well, the effort to switch is unlikely to be worth it. SourceForge is still around, and still (strangely enough) servicing some projects -- it's not like anyone got left behind because they failed to see that SF was "slowly dying" in time.
SF has also been injecting adware into software hosted on it. You stay behind at the expense of everyone around you.
And honestly - it's a lot easier, at least for me, to trust a person whose name and email address I know than a faceless company with interests that don't align with mine.
