This isn't unique to Github, though. You're advocating for absolutely no use of third party services, then.

- mastazi 5y agoExactly, in the last 2-3 years I closed more than a dozen of accounts, from Facebook to Google and more :-) Something like Netflix, I'm OK with, even if they close my account for some arcane reason, I'll just make a new one. The services I'm going to avoid are those where losing the account would mean losing important data (email, docs, etc.) and those where a data breach could mean sensitive data being exposed (e.g. non-encrypted messaging apps, doctor's online booking systems etc.). And yes I actively advocate for this with other people too. I'm not a fundamentalist or anything but I want people I care about to understand the risks associated to using online services that you don't really own.
