I'm still not sure what to do with my own code.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
