Other people have good points, but even if you don’t care at all about open source or MS, Github’s reliability lately has been really bad. I think they’ve had 3 outages this month already? It’s been disruptive at my workplace and we have concerns about how we’d deploy a fix if we had an outage at the same time (since our deploys are automated using GH Actions).

Everything owned by Microsoft is in immediate danger of failing to work correctly forevermore.

basically free
What does that mean?
as long as git clone works
Granted, I still use code form github.
But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.
And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.

Because Microsoft owns github.
Even without them plugging LLMs into it, using it all as training data, they could easily do a more standard enshittification of it.
Oh you have a free github account, you can do X amount of pulls and commits per month, otherwise, subscribe to GitHubPro for $5 a month.
Oh you host some software that’s used to antagonize our corporate partners?
Even though its not actually illegal?
Poof, gone, just like when the credit card companies decided nsfw games are verbotten.
