Blog post argues GitHub has become unreliable and slop-ridden under Microsoft and urges developers to migrate to Codeberg, Forgejo, GitLab, or self-hosted Git alternatives.
Key Takeaways
GitHub uptime has visibly degraded post-Microsoft acquisition; official status pages reportedly understate the problem.
Copilot integration and bot-driven activity are blamed for GitHub effectively DDoSing its own infrastructure with AI slop.
Git is distributed and works without GitHub; centralised forges are a social convenience, not a technical requirement.
Recommended exits: Codeberg (non-profit, Forgejo-based), Tangled (AT Protocol, alpha), GitLab (enterprise), or self-hosted Forgejo over SSH.
GitHub Actions are called out specifically as over-engineered and untrustworthy given reliability concerns; migration is framed as incremental, not all-or-nothing.
