If it helps, I volunteer to moderate the nodejs community.
I only moderate !cpp@programming.dev and only because I've been posting all content recently, so the powermod risk is none at all. Nevertheless I think Node.js deserves a dedicated place for discussion. I mean, Node.js plays a critical role in the development workflow of practically all JavaScript frameworks, and there are already a couple of communities dedicated to JavaScript frameworks. Not having a Node.js community feels like a blind spot.
If GitHub changes terms of use to pay for basic stuff, or starts breaking compatibility or adding egregious bugs, I would start looking for alternatives.
A while ago I had all my personal projects on GitLab. I was a GitLab fanboy and advocated it everywhere to the point I convinced the project manager of a previous job to migrate the team's projects to it and pay for GitLab ultimate. Without going into details, that goodwill ended the moment I stumbled upon a regression introduced by GitLab which affected my personal projects, and their customer support essentially said the issue was won't fix but it was fixed in premium customers. I simply unblocked myself by moving all projects to GitHub, disabled GitLab CICD and shut down my GitLab runners, and onboarded onto a mix of GitHub Actions and CircleCI. I could still stick with GitLab, but why bother?
I would do the same to GitHub if I experienced anything remotely similar.
Elon Musk buying it.
Holy hell, you went for the jugular.
You could just upvote Java 8 and Java 17
Java 11 LTS
Some Java version older than 8
Done.
