What would it take for you to move away from Github? (self.programming)

Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

This is my biggest problem with Gitlab and github alternatives. Multiple accounts on every single instance you want to contribute to. It’s a pain

Wah really? I contribute to, like countless projects on github. Sometimes just a comment in a discussion or a single line pull request and then never again... gitlab sounds horrible.

Yep, they completely ignored that aspect for maybe a decade. One poor, unaffiliated dude is finally taking it upon himself to implement it while Gitlab engineers cheer him on. IMO it's their biggest oversight and misprioritisation.
