@snappy_ranger Check out @codeberg which offers Gitea, Codeberg Pages and Woodpecker CI, which together cover what most projects need from github, and is run as a non-profit member association rather than a mega corporation or VC-funded startup.
Please join us and #GiveUpGitHub by visiting https://GiveUpGitHub.org/ and while you are still on #GitHub, adding information to your README that you do not agree with GitHub's policies and monopolized place in our community.

We can no longer in good conscience stay silent about problems w/#GitHub's products. This latest effort to capitalize on the corpus of #copyleft code hosted on GitHub is merely the latest of their many ethical and moral lapses.
@bot@feditips it's only been like 6 hours since microsoft announced they are doing thought-control style censorship of things it doesn't agree with in email
just like they did with skype just like they did with xbox just like it did with its corporate IM tool

@Fairphone Concerning the hardware you are doing a great job. But, could you please remove this ugly spy-OS and replace it by a privacy respecting and fair open source solution? We all need to degoogle = detox our digital and real life!
@dredmorbius@vt I think we're at the point where we are simply making different assumptions based on our experience and the only thing that would clear it is that someone make a study to quantify the pros and cons.
@zeh@thenewoil The corporation could take any future version private as they like. If that seems too farfetched, they could also MPLv2 the whole thing and someone else might make proprietary additions.
