I am considering moving away because of network effect. The more popular repo is, the more work is there (issues, PRs...). It's not scalable.
Using another platform/self-host would introduce a friction.

- mnau 3y agoThat's not the point. I am not opposed to issues per se. The problem is dealing with the amount, it's exhausting. It's just too easy to make issue or comment on GitHub because of network effect. This sums it up pretty well: https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/ https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-... (my workload is of course far smaller, but still it takes time and saps energy) Yes, that issue has been opened for 4 years and I don't consider it important and neither did any of "me too" comments to do anything about it. At best I sometimes get drive by PR, which takes far more time to deal with than if I just did it myself.
