GitHub is the worst place to host your code. Except for all of the other places.
- hackermanai 2mo agoSo it seems.
- OtomotO 2mo agoMy self hosted gitforge disagrees.
- aveao 2mo agoDo you just care to provide code, or do you want people to be able to create issues, send PRs, make forks? Open source is social, and self hosting git forges isn't the answer for many projects (especially as spam is a big problem, and has been for years, even before LLMs).
- DaSHacka 2mo agoWell, GitHub seems unlikely to randomly ban your project if it fits within an entire category of services some admin arbitrarily decided they don't like. I know which one I'll be sticking with.
- LtWorf 2mo agoGithub might randomly ban your project if USA decides they don't like the colour of your passport.
- inigyou 2mo agoIt routinely bans projects for downloading media.
- aveao 2mo agoThis was voted on by the association members, with ~500 votes as far as I've seen. It's not the arbitrary politics of "some admin", rather the arbitrary politics of mob mentality.
- lostmsu 2mo agocodesalem.org
- gmerc 2mo agoEvidence disagrees.
- matheusmoreira 2mo agoYeah. Looks like it's either GitHub or self-hosted from now on. At least GitHub has a Sponsors thing. Not that I'm getting much out of it.
