Currently the content on Mastodon is only mirrored from Twitter via a cross-posting app. We also monitor the @-mentions. So people who look for it will find it, but considering our relatively small amount of volunteers we can’t maintain 2 separate platforms more actively than that.
- Right now nothing is at GitLab. The initial idea was simply to mirror the repository in case of outage.
- However, for Open Source Diversity we used to use GitLab and GitLab Pages and had plenty of outages and no https until we moved to GitHub.
- Besides, since you say GitHub is hosted by Microsoft, be aware that GitLab.com is hosted by Google (and used to be by Microsoft): Why and how GitLab abandoned Microsoft Azure for Google Cloud | VentureBeat – so this is not really an argument.
- Lastly we wouldn’t go for hosting our own instance as this is a) too much work for us volunteers and b) too much hassle for people to register at yet another instance.
