GitHub. You're hosting public stuff so there's no more risk of your data being sold on GitHub than anywhere else public. GitHub is what recruiters understand and expect.
I'll get downvoted by extremists but this is the best option if you want a job and aren't also an extremist.
I would consider Codeberg or maybe even Tangled for actual projects you're working on, but for just showing stuff of there's no advantage to not using GitHub.
I might say to do both, with one of the two as a mirror
Github is important for recruiters, especially non technical ones that aren't familiar with the alternatives. Since OP has the motivation for it, having a second place might show off that OP understands git beyond Github, or the values OP might share with the employer.
Fuck microsoft.
Maybe in the 90s when Bill Gates was running the show. These days they're mid tier evil. Barely even maintaining a monopoly.
If it was Oracle, or Broadcom, or Meta then sure, but Microsoft aren't in their league any more.
The only way this assessment makes sense is if you're looking at specific industries or something. Meta can't compare to Microsoft in other areas. We have to use Teams and Office because all our customers do. Enterprise/Companies are integrated and bound to their tooling and user and system management.
Meta is localized. I don't see it even nearly as prevalent as Microsoft is.
