I've been asked a few times in the past week to use #GitHub, and I'd like to be helpful, but I keep seeing Renée Good's face and it would seem disrespectful somehow.
Happy to email a patch, but I'm done with that site.
There are some useful resources here, and an existing alliterative hashtag to join 😉
Should you move all of your github repos away from there on a Friday?
Well, it depends! But maybe you could move one repo?

How do we get more open source projects away from GitHub, towards e.g. Codeberg or Forgejo? #linux #opensource #git #giveUpGitHub
I guess contributing to Forgejo is one thing, or specifically contributing to projects by helping them migrate? Bring it up in discussions and issues? Donations?
The @conservancy resource page, GiveUpGitHub, has stood for years as a great clearing house of reasons why, and how-tos for those wanting to leave the enshittified platform.
This blog post explaining why the Zig programming language has gone full #GiveUpGitHub gathers a lot of great explanations why everyone should, and how they did.

Some of those might even be good to update the SFConservancy resource page.

FYI: As part of a larger move away from GitHub, I've archived Big Brain on it and moved all future development over to Codeberg, at https://codeberg.org/zkat/big-brain
Please use that repo from now on.
Additionally: I am in the process of trying a major rewrite of the crate that I'm hoping will be much simpler, and much more efficient, thanks to features now available in recent version of Bevy! I'm very excited :)
GitHub’s relevance as a development platform is rapidly devolving: I have gotten more spam on there and through there in the past couple of weeks than I will get in an entire year or two, and Copilot means they just don’t care.
Open Source deserves new homes. I’ll continue moving my projects away.

📆 We happily host #LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar on @Codeberg from day one! We love the democratic and nonprofit approach of the organization. Hope a lot of #FOSS projects will make the move.
#GiveUpGitHub
Find LAUTI here, release 1.1 coming soon: https://codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/lauti
💡 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.
☣️ #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.
