I don't think a single person is considering moving from GitHub to Sourceforge.
- craftyguy 8y agoNo kidding. Sourceforge is the future of github, in the best case. Ads everywhere, binay spyware injected into your projects, etc.
- TheChaplain 8y agoYou are talking about the old Sourceforge, since their recent acquisition they've done a great deal to clean up their act.
- mort96 8y agoEven though you're (probably) right regarding those criticisms, it's representative of how people view SourceForge, and serves to show that > I don't think a single person is considering moving from GitHub to Sourceforge. is true.
- Voloskaya 8y agoIf people want to ditch GitHub because of Microsoft's actions 10 years ago, you can be sure they won't forgive SourceForge last year's actions... Or that would be some pretty heavy cognitive dissonance.
- loganabbott 8y agoIt was 3 years ago, and completely different ownership.
- Voloskaya 8y agoMicrosoft has a new CEO, and all major execs have been replaced. This is apparently not enough, so I hardly see how the situation of SourceForge is better in this regard.
- mort96 8y agoEven with all new execs and a new CEO, Microsoft's expensive operating system still features ads in the start menu. They still troll OSS projects with their patents. Their software still includes telemetry which can't (easily) be disabled.
- superflyguy 8y agoBut the same name? What a waste of time and money. Sourceforge is never coming back from the dead.
- loganabbott 8y agoStill a million daily users and 500,000 projects. You can say it's dead because you don't use it, but we're just focused on doing right by them.
