I wish I would practically escape it. On personal projects, I’ve moved everything to Sourcehut and GitLab, but so many projects I want to contribute to are still on GitHub for legacy reasons and don’t feel it’s worth the effort to migrate (though everything heavy on the libre side have moved). Some projects, like Elm (programming language), use GitHub for both as the source of its package management and identity so it’s impossible to escape the lock-in.
But this is why Microsoft bought it: to get closer to monopoly (GitHub, Copilot, NPM, VS Code, Azure, etc.) making people buy into a platform they feel they cannot escape. I think it is important to tag the parent company when talking about GitHub so users understand who they are really dealing with by hosting their projects on this Git forge and what restrictions this puts on their contributors.
