routine bitching about choosing proprietary software

[PaulFree14]

Why sticking to github while there is gitlab?
From what I've observed is the only reason why most new projects hosting through github is cause of it's popularity. Everyone knows it and everyone knows how to work with.
A switch would mean something new. But leaving proprietary stuff behind in order to choose opensource doesn't sound like a bad deal for me. :-)

Anytime you choose proprietady software you'll promote what they do, for what values they stand and how they oporate. You'll part of creating proprietary ideology as status quo.
Through that you're also excluding those who really care about open and free culture. Me as a example was shortly about thinking to not give you any feedback, cause interacting with you forces me to use proprietary software.
...and the software isn't even the real problem. It's the culture which stands behind and is rulling this world to it's limts of exploration
