Why it's good to not host on github? If anything, it just makes project more painful to consume

- blooalien 4y agoHow so? `git clone` doesn't operate any differently here than it does on GitHub or any other git hosting service. Reading the `README.md` or other Markdown based project notes doesn't work any differently here from GitHub or any other git host. Reading a documentation wiki, or filing an issue in the bug tracker isn't any different here. Hell, you can even log in using your GitHub account on most other git hosting services, so creating an account there is pretty much totally "frictionless". So, what exactly is so "painful" about it?

- metadat 4y agoPlease see: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-la... Github is fundamentally flawed. It's wrong to host nearly all prominent FOSS on a proprietary platform that also does whatever the hell it wants with your code, regardless of the license of your project (CoPilot), because apparently they feel the github ToS outranks than your chosen license.
