You're alienating the vast majority of devs by choosing sr.ht, who don't have accounts there and don't want to set up yet another account, don't want to use mailing lists, etc.
In the end it's an ideals tradeoff. Are you going to prioritize the growth of your project ecosystem but give into megacorps, or are you kneecap contributions by choosing esoteric ethical workflows.
- freeopinion 4y agoI'm not here to defend any one service specifically. But I would like to let anybody with an aversion to Github know that they are not alone. And you are not some pariah. For that matter, it's ok if you don't even use git. If you have an interesting project, people will still be interested if you're willing to work with them. Many a would-be contributor has lost interest when a project was entirely dependent on github, too. It's pretty telling when a contributor uses git, but can't contribute to a project that also uses git.
