I would argue that choosing a closed platform like GitHub where users must sign their data and more over to and which (a) has absolutely no provision for contributing in any way without signing up (and thus giving them a wider "user base"), (b) is an entirely proprietary, for-profit platform built on the backs of open-source, and (c) is owned by a company with such a long history of ill will towards open-source; is worse.

(Not that I think GitLab - at least in its cloud form - is much better, but alas.)

Ultimately someone has to pay for hosting. Unless open source projects are going to pay to exist, you can’t have cake and eat it too.
