If 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.
