They said they thought they were within Github’s acceptable use guidelines; even though they make mods for hentai games and things like interactive vibrator plugins, they took care to not host anything explicit directly in their repositories.
Hmm. Buttplug.io’s GitHub repositories are still up, and I’d think that that’d be rather-more-prominent if the issue is sex toy code.

Web devs need hardware integration support too.

huh, if there isn’t explicit content in the repos, the ban is nonsense. Makes me assume this will get resolved eventually.

It’s owned by Microsoft and they’re doing this with all their products at this point.

Github is Microsoft, that’s why.

That’s what you get for hosting your shit on GitHub

Leave the sinking ship if you don’t want a bad experience.

Everyone is fleeing GitHub anyway.

My gut says that they are taking a shortcut to clean up copilot.

I’m a bit sad, now copilot won’t learn dirty tricks, foul mouth code comments and all that to parrot for vibe coders living in VSCode

I think sometimes people forget that one of the main features of Git is that it’s decentralized. You don’t need Github; just push your repo to a different remote.
The main issue is the auxiliary non-Git-powered features of Github, like issue tracking.

This is important to remember. People sometimes give me quizzical responses when I point them to the repository for the Bypass Paywalls Clean plugin because it’s hosted on a Russian git site. The plugin was chased off the Firefox add-ons site/Chrome add-ons site, it was chased off of Gitlab, it was chased off of Github, all over DMCA takedown requests. People act like “well it must be shady because it’s not on a well known git site” and yet is hosted in a country that doesn’t respect the US copyright cabals control over media literally because that’s the only safe harbor for it. The developer even has this snippet on his description of the plugin:
Yet it’s super common for people to be absolutely suspicious of it.
Using alternative gits is so important and is literally what allows programming and especially open source programming, to thrive.

Why forgejo over self-hosted gitlab?

I would like to see a Git repo hosting solution that also stores issues and other meta data in either an ancillary git repo or a branch of the git repo as files.
