Comment on is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn
rist097@lemmy.world 1 year agoThey had to do it, but this is the downside using a git server hosted in non neutral country. You never know when USA will decide to impose sanctions on a country for whatever reason.
It is one of the reasons many European companies do not use Github, as it is USA based.

The only ‘neutral country’ is the middle of the ocean. Pretty hard to host a server out there. You host it in a different place, you have a different set of problems.

Sure, but some countries are more neutral, hosting in Switzerland would be for sure better, while USA is probably the worst choice.
And you wouldn’t need to worry about it if you could host your own server and be able to communicate with other servers, like Lemmy is doing, you get the best of both worlds
