I placed my public projects on GitHub to have a visible online front and invite people to submit patches. I haven’t had any issues with GitHub so far. I considered Microsoft to be a good steward… until recently, since articles like this keep popping up.
I also already have a self-hosted repository for my private projects. It would be simple enough for me to move everything there, but then I basically lose any chance of other people contributing and that online resume I built up over time.
One possibility is to leave the Github available but just have it as a project page that points them to where the development is really happening and then host it where ever you want. In the near term this seems like a solution that at the very least makes the project visible and findable for those that go looking just on github.
I also use CodeFloe. While smaller, they have fewer guidelines around what is allowed to be there. While Codeberg is generally okay with people putting small private repos there, I don’t feel comfortable using what I view as a public resource for my private stuff.
I’m still not sure what to do with my own code.

Codeberg seems to be the best alternative to Github right now. It’s fully FOSS and supported by a nonprofit and it’s getting more and more popular.
So if you want a good alternative to GitHub but still people to be able to see and contribute to your code, I would suggest Codeberg.
