This shouldn’t even be a question. IT IS CONTROLLED BY MICROSOFT
it is a tool that they are using to embrace, extend, extinguish the free software movement, something they’ve been doing for more than a few decades now.

Github doesn’t care about the content posted on there until they get a dmca to take it down, or if the content’s illegal, in which case any large company would’ve done the same. If you’ve got a specific example of censorship, which wasn’t justifiably removed, feel free to share.
Heck, i saw a popular github repo containing an activation script for windows a while back, and it looks like its still up. It has almost 37k stars… Which literally proves microsoft doesn’t give a damn.
Now on the contrary, i absolutely hate things like codeberg, gitlab, sr.ht, sourceforge and the 2 trillion selfhosted gitlab instances to exist. I want to contribute to software or quickly report an issue? screw having to signup to a trillion services, and then waiting for my account to be accepted, because people can’t decide on one platform to share code. It disincentivizes collaboration if anything. Github’s already got a massive userbase, just stick with github, there’s nothing wrong with it.
why?
