Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.
It's time to decide.
Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?
Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?
This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.
Please Boost.
Before people jump in, posting about how the "new" *cough* Microsoft isn't that bad... firstly this isn't about Microsoft per se. It was a problem letting the infrastructure we depend on, be based on the business plans and proprietary tools of one company, long before Microsoft bought GitHub.
This is one area where we have more than enough skills and talent to do better. Options exist. GitLab, Gitea, GitLite, GOGS and more. Support them! Contribute! Help make them and the world, better.
