Judging by some of the reactions on this thread, GitHub would do well to make an official post explaining the situation, as well as the processes and mitigations in place for users affected by such suspensions. Regardless of the technicalities behind making backups or the decentralized nature of git, GitHub is a trusted service and needs to maintain that trust.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoThe tech industry has a very strong belief that if they have to explain anything they do with rule enforcement, it will permit bad people to manipulate the process to avoid being punished for being bad people (as defined by the tech industry). The solution is to put everyone in constant fear of somehow angering something in a tech company (human or algorithm) so they'll reduce themselves down to a very narrow set of behaviors that probably won't (but aren't guaranteed not to) upset the enforcers (human or algorithm) of secret rules. Don't like it? Go build your own tech industry.
