Given the ongoing GitHub / ICE controversy which is ever prevalent on Twitter.. I have to wonder. Is there a viable alternative for open source projects with enough of a network?
I see people who are very outspoken on the subject that are maintainers of projects on GitHub.
Seems rather hypocritical, but maybe there isn't a better option.

If you want to avoid a transitive dependency on GitHub, that might be difficult. If you're looking for self-hosting options: Gogs: https://gogs.io/ https://gogs.io/ Gitea: https://gitea.io/ https://gitea.io/ Also, Sourcehut, Savannah, and GitLab from the service offerings can be self-hosted. These are literally off the top of my head, and based primarily on osmosis from browsing HN. I am sure there are many more.
- wongarsu 7y agoBitbucket can be self-hosted too. It's not open source, but the licence fees for self-hosted installs are very reasonable.
- greggyb 7y agoThanks for letting me know. As I said, most of my knowledge of these is just osmosis from comments here. I've used TFS, Visual Studio Online / Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and SourceHut. My knowledge of the others is purely from people like you. I appreciate it.
- MisterOctober 7y agoSourcehut is one I especially enjoy using, and I really admire the grit + dedication of its developer[s]-- as I mentioned in a related thread a few weeks ago, I intend to migrate my personal projects to Sourcehut.
