Their CI is FAST and free. And nobody can contribute to my random but neat projects if they neither know they exist not have the ability to interact with my forgejo instance.

I doubt they’ll get anywhere with weak action like that. “Stop forcing copilot on us or we’ll be very sad and we’ll strongly consider moving some of our hosting to another site.”
GitHub is a disaster for open source software. MS controls some insane amount of all the code created on earth, and even with self-hosted forges being more prolific and easier to access than ever, people act like their projects can’t live without Big Daddy MS’s social media for coders.
I saw someone the other day, on Lemmy and in full seriousness, proclaim that the world really needed distributed version control. To avoid censorship, like how the fediverse is decentralized.
This is what GitHub has done to a generation of programmers. For those missing the joke, git is already decentralized. You don’t need a central Hub of some kind for your code. You do for your issues, releases, and all that, but not for the code. And if we’d collectively moved to a well designed, intentionally improved system like Fossil, all that woukd have been decentralized and distributed too.
But no, easier and more efficient/profitable to keep using the one C library that’s compatible with Torvald’s pile of old Perl scripts. My website can’t live without a built in Travis CI bot and nonstop PRs from dependency bot, but allowing every moron on earth to submit AI generated content, at last we’ve found the step too far.

Git is distributed, not decentralized. It can be set up to be decentralized, but even in that case, client side, you’d push to a single remote that would sync to multiple which can be done now.

I dont remember the name of it, but there were tools that could store issues inside of git. It’d be hard to keep it in sync with everybody without a central repo, but maybe not much harder than keeping the code in sync too.

Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don’t really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn’t offer anything particularly important I can’t get elsewhere.

Why not submit a million vibecoded PRs against various Microsoft repos? At some point they might get it.

The developers will hate you and the suits couldn’t care less.

This suits 100% could care less. If there was profit in caring less, you can be damn sure they would create false demand for caring less, lie then chase the profit.
