- Third-party or self hosted GitLab FTW.
  Youtube is kind of hard to replace, though. There's attempts but I'm skeptical they'll go far.
  
  Not with that attitude they won't!

I didn't even know there was a competition for having a bigger audience.

Getting Embraced and Extended must feel nice.

147 people follow me. I have no idea why. I'm boring.
- 1,873 contributions in the last year
  Maybe it’s because you’re fucking sexy
- I require thy github username
  
  Same as lemmy username

Both suck
- Github is pretty amazing, better than Gitlab or Forgejo imo, however, fuck Microsoft.
  
  GitHub can talk to me when they let me self host and have better ci/cd
  
  Why is GitHub better than GitLab? Did I miss something big or are you refering to smaller differences in function? I thought GitLab offered basically the same core functionality as GitHub.
  
  The only good thing about GitHub is the fact that its backend is git

Why would anyone ever compare those platforms?
- As a joke. That's kinda why we're here.
  
  I'M SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK PAL
  
  How could you!
- Internet points.

I feel like YouTube one can lead into another. Because it's hard to get people to follow you in GitHub. But having another platform where you can advertise your programs means a lot. Even if you write something useful people are not going to discover you without something else doing the outreach.

Theres been a LOT of bots on github lately. They mass follow each other. Its pretty easy to see them as they will have 1k+ followers and follow just as many. Theres growing scams and acounts where you can buy GH accounts online that are "primed" with followers so your account looks good.

- Looks like I duplicated this comment. Deleting.
- Bots
