You can use any platform you want, even mirror between them but keep them redundant by publishing the state of branches, and other metadata to nostr.
By keeping the metadata on nostr you are not locked in to platform identites and the data is actually portable because it's standardized in a NIP.
Gitea, gitlab, github, forgejo and others give you one model that is hard to migrate and data is not signed by sovereig identities.
In short you are married to their way of things
