Cool story bro. I don't think that describes anyone in the market for an open source software produce to use. Instead, what it means is that before opening an issue or submitting a patch to a project, if I must create a new account on an alternate forge there is a good chance I simply won't. I'll still use the software, I just won't make casual contributions to upstream. If I get invested in it and can see myself making a series of contributions then sure I'll click through and register and put up with all the things I may have to learn (at least Forgejo is a pixel-perfect clone of Github and I don't have to learn anything). The main issue though, is that I won't star a repo on an alternate forge. That is the main reason many projects will only consider Github - if they have no revenue they must have traction, and GitHub stars are a good substitute for meaningful measures of that.
