We had technical problems that GitHub had no interest in solving, and lots of small frustrations with the platform built up over years.

Jumping from one enshittified profit-driven platform to another profit-driven platform would just mean we'd set ourselves up for another enshittification -> migration cycle later down the line.

No stunt here.
