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.

💡 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.

Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.

Start today.

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!

First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?

Between #GiveUpGitHub and #iNaturalist jumping the "AI" shark, I'm extra grateful for infrastructures like @Codeberg that have democratic governance mechanisms to give contributors a real vote and power in decision making.

I hope more folks use those opportunities to find infrastructures that they can actually co-own, instead of wasting time & energy in dictatorial platforms that at best "make the community feel heard" (notice the subtle difference between being heard and feeling heard).

We, the operators of this social media account, sometimes face dilemmas about what we want to post. For example: "Are you a Hubber and want to become a Berger? We're looking forward to you!"

Love it or hate it, one thing is certain: It doesn't really matter, because others are doing our marketing today. 🙃
