- kick 6y agoDrew is ethical, unlike the other two, and it seems very, very unlikely that will change. Have you seen his rants? He cares more about software freedom than most GNU contributors. He also has been contributing to free software for years as his main occupation, which is something that can't be said of the founders of the other two. If Drew somehow has a complete change of personality and ethics, that's when it'll be "It's not GitHub, GitLab, or SourceHut." But as it is, he's basically the only trustworthy business-owner on this site. He even reps a "competitor" that actually supports software freedom as well: Codeberg.
