@sugar_in_your_tea As a non-lemmy-dev, I don’t get to participate in that decision either, no matter how strong I think the arguments are.
I’m not convinced that the difficulty in switching is low; as you say, bug/issue tracking is a big barrier, but other features are part of the #EEE strategy [4], and switching later when MS upsets the community like Musk or Huffman will be difficult.
An official mirror would be a good start to make a future move easier.
