Deleting all my GitHub repos today. Should've done this long ago.Don't imagine many people have my stuff checked out, but if you do, feel free to update remotes to https://gitlab.com/Cheeseness

Done. My repo of example/experimental Neverball balls wasn't on GitLab, but is now. A couple of historic archives that I don't feel personally responsible for preserving (such as pre-Linden the Desurium client) haven't been migrated across.On the off chance that anything somebody wants is gone, let me know and I'll see what I can scrounge up.

For at least a decade, I've been uncomfortable with the role that GitHub has played as keystone infrastructure for F/OSS projects. A large portion of the F/OSS ecosystem being beholden to a proprietary service using proprietary software seems fundamentally problematic. Last time I looked, GitHub doesn't even have a public issue tracker.It's difficult for me to not see current LLM culture/implementation as tool for copyright laundering, and that also seems strongly at odds with F/OSS ideals.

@Cheeseness there is no lack of options to avoid using Github though. It's just laziness of most FOSS devs' part.

@boilingsteam Yes, that's the part I've been uncomfortable with.

@boilingsteam @Cheeseness It is worse than that, I know plenty of people that think that git was made by github.

@PalePimp @Cheeseness Not surprised. Most technical people have huge blind spots in their general knowledge. Which is why you should never trust them blindly for anything.

@Cheeseness @boilingsteam It's a good ol' network effect. A friend of mine left Github a while ago, but ended up going back and reluctantly mirroring some of his repositories on Github due to the sheer number of contributors being confused by anything other than Github. At least it was a conscious tradeoff and not a blind defaulting to Github, and it's still only a mirror.We need more people being comfortable with workflows outside of Github.

@vifon @Cheeseness git is made to work in a decentralized workflow. Keeping it tied to a single platform is nonsensical and a fundamental misunderstanding on the devs parts.
