The decrease of Github activity might be caused by their 2FA rollout. Everything that does not have a 2FA workflow (like a git mirror bot) got locked out from non-public repositories this summer.

- janalsncm 3y agoSeems reasonable. If this is the case, we shouldn’t see a decline from summer (post lockout) to now. In fact we should see an uptick in the next period as more people get around to unlocking their accounts (or at least not a further decline).
- blueflow 3y agoIt was announced that 2FA will be forced for selected accounts (which seems to be everyone active) by January, so the doom is still impending.
- countWSS 3y agoLol. I'm not going to "unlock" my accounts. GIthub/Microsoft don't have a monopoly on hosting code.There are better alternatives that don't suddenly force their users to jump through hoops. Hope they introduce face-to-face verification via Zoom so the even the loyal MS-lemmings feel a sting.
