Good news. Hopefully this will help to finally break the de facto monopoly of Microsoft’s GitHub and bring the distributed aspect of Git - away from gatekeeper platforms - back into the foreground.
I guess. I haven’t lived through its golden age as a developer, but, seeing it now, anything would be better than Sourceforge IMO, so I would understand why people would move away even just for practical reasons
Yeah well no shit, it’s a meme from an old 80s movie that has probably seen multiple levels of compression. Yet somehow it still got my point across, despite your keen observation.

Based
…but this will realistically just spawn some new mirrors and proxies because the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won’t ever move away.
Anyway, I am doing my part! (With my irrelevant profile)
That’s what they said about Sourceforge though.
Github probably won’t shoot
themselvestheir userbase in the dick quite as spectacularly as Sourceforge did, though.At least they’re less obvious about it.
To be fair there are still oodles of projects there. I end up on source forge regular basis.
One of the reasons might be that the number of SVN hosting facilities has decreased over the past two decades.
Sourceforge 🤮
Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.
It wasn’t! It’s ugly, slow, and hard to use right now! 🤪
