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.

@dentangle I feel like Microsoft still isn't mentioned often enough in the Github context.
Microsoft.
Microsoft is Github. No idea how people can rationalize that away. 🤦
@mray It seems odd to need to use Microsoft to contribute to Free Software.
Maybe we need to call it Microsoft Github routinely? There's nothing on the Github website even mentioning Microsoft so am guessing they don't like people making the connection?
When I started calling the book site Amazon Goodreads, judging by replies a lot of people didn't realise who owned it.
@dentangle that now makes me wonder why this ticket was closed without any comment: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/423228
If it were possible to do cross-instance forks and PRs then I'd be all-in for #Gitlab.
@T_X @dentangle FYI: GitLab happily collaborates with ICE.
Here's what GitLab's CEO, Sid Sijbrandij, himself committed:

> vetting customers is time consuming and potentially distracting.
GitLab employees are forbidden to discuss politics at work or raise concerns about GitLab's customers.
Even when it's perfectly clear that a customer is evil, they want to "do business with customers with values that are incompatible with our own values".
They "welcome everyone […] to be customers of GitLab" as they "do not currently exclude anyone from being a customer based on moral/value grounds."
