Going to github isn't better I guess, or has a bad outlook at least with MS's lust for "telemetry". Last I checked, they blocked indie search crawlers.

- rvz 7y agoThe recent Github repository exodus has now been in vain since GitLab is taking action similar to how MS is famous in developer circles for telemetry and not respecting your privacy. Whenever VCs are involved, the community always finishes last. For individuals sourcehut[0] may seem to be an alternative. Open source orgs might be better of self-hosting. In either scenario I would rather go with the community than to be in the mercy of a VC-backed corporation for hosting my work in this case. [0] https://sr.ht https://sr.ht
- tannhaeuser 7y agoEmployees of GitHub: tell me where I'm wrong, don't just downvote me. This is a serious discussion we need to be having.
- arkitaip 7y agoVery disturbing that this is a discussion you need to have now as opposed to already knowing this considering how privacy sensitive the dev community has always been.
- weaksauce 7y agoIf you use something like ublock origin to block the third party telemetry scripts on github I don’t think it breaks the rest of the site no?
