My name is Pinguin and I’m strong supporter of free software. Because of this, my activity on GitHub is limited. I only use it to contribute to other free software projects like Minetest.
You will not find my own code here. (No, forks created exclusively for pull requests don’t count.) My own code is hosted on Codeberg.org.
I reject GitHub because GitHub is not free software and suffers from the JavaScript Trap.
The JavaScript Trap is a huge deal, actually. It has de-facto normalized webbrowers shipping proprietary code to its users. While we can’t fix the web, we can fix our workflows in our own software projects by removing proprietary software from all steps in our workflow.
If the free software movement wants to truly win, we have to go free software all the way. It is unacceptable we’re tolerating a massive proprietary platform like GitHub and have integrated in our workflow so deeply.
If your project is on GitHub and you care about freedom, please consider migrating to a free platform. The more people embrace actual freedom, the easier it will become for all of us.
I recommend Codeberg.org It runs Forgejo, has a very similar interface, easy migration and is very stable. I have had very good experience with it. See https://forgejo.org/compare/ for a comparison to other Git services.
Before you actually migrate, please make sure to read their documentation first in order to avoid ugly surprises.
Alternatively, consider self-hosting.
