Are you using #github for #FOSS ?
Small request: could you use FOSS instead?
Don't make #Microsoft your gatekeeper, use like #forgejo #codeberg or something.

Thanks to @conservancy 's @karen , Denver Gingerich and Bradley Kuhn for the #FOSDEM talk.
@dcz @conservancy @karen I have over 50 open source projects on Github I've created and man years of time invested in them. I've asked questions but received cursory or no answers regarding GitHub alternatives. That is not reassuring. GitHub has a history of reliability and Microsoft's reputation would be tarnished with developers if they did a rug pull. If you want to convince me you have to show the alternative is reliable and no data will be lost.
@profdc9
Are you on board with your code having been slurped up by LLMs? Or would you say it is a non-issue since they slurped up websites and other code forges anyway?
Their masterstroke was probably the Pages feature, which made them the webpage for projects and cemented the network effect. If project authors have their own project websites, discovery and patch submission wouldn't be a problem (forge federation or not).
