Github has not even one-nine of uptime. Normally you want three-nine or four-nine, they have ZERO-nine. A server in your basement is worlds more reliable.

It prompted a groveling apology from GitHub’s CCO in response, who said […] I’m sorry, @mitchellh. The team is going to keep working to make GitHub something you can come back to with real proof, not words. Until then, I’ll still be cheering on Ghostty as a user.April 28, 2026 “Groveling”? Who wrote this article? That’s just a regular-ass apology on social media.

lol; Windowscentral.com topic sentence: Microsoft’s ability to acquire successful companies and then destroy them needs to be studied. Today, we’re talking about GitHub. More to the point the uptime fiasco(es) aren’t even the biggest issue. The biggest issue is that microsoft is not secure. Take it as a rule of thumb and you’ll never be disappointed, and hopefully never compromised. Of course microslop acquiring it was the signal to move. Of course it was. Bonus schadenfreude in blaming Nadella. As if he isn’t doing exactly what they want him to do. As if Balmer wouldn’t be upside down in a smoking hole in the ground by this point.

I brought up my own Forgejo instance and am moving all of my projects to it. It’s fairly easy. Check out my instance: forge.sciactive.com

Soo, they vibe-refactored a perfectly fine working product?

Codeberg.org is your friend.

Have a project works well Amass a massive community with lots of goodwill Project gets bought/merged/under new management new management destroy everything that attracted the community and goodwill ??? Somehow, not profit I wonder where it’s gone wrong. What would it have cost github to keep operating decently for the vast majority of small users, and still have a business side?

Forgejo is the best alternative. They are also working on ActivityPub support, so different Forgejo instances can communicate with each other. Codeberg is one of the many Forgejo instances.

more FOSS projects NEED to get off github. there’s been countless things I’ve stopped using because I refuse to open another github account to simply post an issue or contribute to something.

Left github months ago. Fuck that star greed. Everyone experienced enough to code and git has the power to run a forgejo instance on it’s own. Or simply go to codeberg.org.

You know, when Boeing let the MBAs run engineering, several hundred people died. It doesn’t seem like any other companies have learned from this.

A mistake in the article: ghostty is not "nearly two decades" old. It's like two years old. I think the author saw that the ghostty developer had been on github for that long, and assumed that the ghostty project had been going the whole time. It's great to see popular projects moving to alternatives.

I was thinking of joining GitHub back then, but the announcement that MS is buying it put me off. I was right from the start.

Start migrating elsewhere folks

how many vibe coding incidents will it take for microslop to learn?

Downhill ever since they removed the horizontal merge graph from the classic Desktop, then closed an issue about it because too many people were affected.

Got smacked with the pull request incident banner yesterday and now I'm actually considering to just move all my random personal repos to GitLab lol. I've been putting off spinning up Forgejo at home because I really need to clean up my homelab design (really abusing quadlets to the point where it would be easier to just do K8s), and I already know I'm gonna immediately waste all my time setting up a dumb CI/CD pipeline that looks really cool but just makes a big mess every time I commit a mistake because I am not in the mood of setting up a monkeychain of pre-commit hooks at home lmao.

FWIW, I switched to self-hosted GitLab in Docker when Microslop borged GitHub and found it to be resource hungry and slow. Seems like it's just a wrapper around their unoptimised, monolithic, warts-and-all enterprise product with a few flags changed. And it's entirely dependent on the ongoing goodwill (and competence) of GitLab, ie. subject to "we've altered the deal; pray we don't alter it any further". Migrated it to a Gitea container soon after, which is light and fast. If I was making the same decision today, I'd switch to Forgejo, but that's more of an ideological position than technical or UX one versus Gitea.
