Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.
It's time to decide.
Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?
Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?
This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.
Please Boost.
@Blort We really need to find a way to merge git with the likes of IPFS to ensure a truly distributed and censorship resistant git infrastructure.

@profoundlynerdy Absolutely. I've long argued that an easy system for redundancy is currently the Achilles heel of self hosting, and that IPFS or similar is key to finding the solution. This is definitely true for self hosting git repos also.
