  Good to see I was not the only one who thought that.

  Correct. I don’t host my music on GitHub. I’m looking to dispense of software that’s involved with it. I’ll try to clarify my post, thank you.!

    This is honestly dumb. If you hate github then actively downloading from it and eating their bandwidth is helping your mission of killing them.

    Where a project is hosted is irrelevant because if the platform shits itself one can simply just do git add remote someserver and push the whole project over to some new code hosting site.

    You refusing to download from github is quite simply stupid.

      What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform. If MS wouldn’t think they benefit from it, they wouldn’t host it for free.

      Hosting platform is also not the battle I’m choosing but come on.

        You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it’s some moral crime.

        Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it’s utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

      It sounds like your definition of when a platform “shits itself” is when it stops meeting your own needs and preferences. I would say that a better definition is when a platform engages in extreme and violent behaviour.

        Then cut yourself entirely off the internet, as it facilitates all of that.
