Yeah I'm just going to submit a polite request to every variety of package/plugin/whatever manager that I use that somewhere somehow relies on GH to cut that shit out.
Actually, if you're looking into Gogs, please look into Gitea instead. It was forked from Gogs because Gogs is done by a single maintainer, who just vanishes for months at a time every once in a while. (Which is not a bad thing per se, but this is precisely why Gitea is set up as a team effort.)
Gitlab is always mentioned here as an alternative on most every github outage post. I am wondering if there are gitlab shills ready to fire in these events? There are many other git products as well.
I'm not paid, but I am a proponent for a federated web.
I'm happy to host unlimited number of repos at my own expense[0] if it means people depending less on centralised hosting and allowing them to migrate away when they feel like it.
Perhaps instead of assuming everyone else in the universe is a mercenary liar, you could look to other explanations?
I use Gitlab for some specific things. It's worth checking out. If only because it's nice to know what a migration strategy off githib would look like.
