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

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?

The social aspect of GitHub is pretty important, to me, professionally.

So I'm primarily waiting for a project like GitLab to support federation.

I want to be able to work where-ever makes sense, but still have strong discovery support for all of my public work.

At the moment, that makes me a GitHub user. I'm watching for GitLab to announce activity pub support, though.

I'm also watching for GitHub to start down the venture capital enshitification route, of course.
