There are alternatives, which will become more popular as it becomes more and more obvious that they are just part of the US national ‘security’ apparatus.
I should clarify, self hosted Gits for projects that may fall under targeted harassment by corporations (Eaglercraft, Switch Emulators, etc…) are becoming popular.
Ryujinx, operating out of Brazil, couldn’t be taken to court by Nintendo. So a lot of projects that could have Nintendo’s eye of sauron on them are looking for a safe country and self hosting as guaranteed insurance from a Yuzu situation.
Primary hosting, but they can always have a fallback for at-risk projects or even just use p2p. Of course that already increases the risk of a potentially hacked provider/repo or just fake/malware versions in the wild

Self-hosted gits in a country that doesn’t care are becoming popular.
What makes you say that? Probably 95% of FOSS projects I see are still hosted on GH.
Oh, github, a division of MicroSlop?

No, I meant GoodHank. The younger, better version of Hank Hill.
Maybe 95% of your FOSS projects aren’t “free” enough ;o
They’re not XD

Lemmy is a bit of an echo chamber in that regard
