My primary motivations...

1. I'd like to store code without a company using my code to train their language model.

2. I'd like to store code without a company deciding my code's merit (Github removing youtube-dl, Sourcehut not allowing crypto projects, etc).

3. Something about storing private code on a closed source forge feels wrong. It also feels wrong that company can read my code, and any of its employees can.
