Getting out of "evil" GitHub (sh.itjust.works)

Just to be clear: I'm not asking for github alternatives.

If you had an open source project that is somewhat deeply rooted in GitHub's ecosystem and wanted to move to another service, how would you proceed?

I'd really want to self host a service, but then i'd be subjecting my internet to regular clones or downloads of releases (I'm not sure how much that'd effect me generally, but it seems worth considering).

No one's internet is as reliable as a cloud hosted service either, so there's also that to consider.

So I guess a cloud option? (Codeberg probably btw)

But then (either way) you're potentially splitting a community I'd imagine?

You can mirror repos to github, but if you have a project small enough and it forces issues/prs on another service, is anyone gonna bother?

Maybe you just have to swap and be okay with less people around, just so you can get out of Microsoft's grip in open source.

Do you have any thoughts?
