I wouldn't say they were "awesome" during the youtube-dl stuff. They were slow to respond and non-transparent about what was happening behind the scenes.
Also, user's have been calling for GitHub to terminate their contract with ICE for a long time now[0] to no avail.
GitHub is better than most, no doubt, when it comes to "listen[ing] to their users" but they still have a ways to go.

- notsureaboutpg 6y agoGitHub won't terminate any contract with ICE now that they are owned by Microsoft, who has a ton of government and military contracts
- acct776 6y agoIn contrast, I was surprised with how "quickly" it was resolved, compared to my expectation. MS is beholden to US.gov through contract cash and unspoken agreements - those ties are lessening, but are still pretty deep.
- nabla9 6y agoIf there is stance to be made, it should be principled. Today it's just companies reacting to any specific issue internet mob in social media has. They ban specific people or organizations based on mob activity.
