>It may take another 14 years to regain this lost trust and even that may not be enough. That's absolutely absurd given how often the biggest names in 'tech' make headlines with one egregious act or another, on a seemingly weekly basis, and continue to march on. As if the tech community can sit atop some moral high ground, thumbing its nose at SourceForge. But nah, let's just keep crapping on a company no longer under the same ownership and no longer committing these acts and hasn't for some time. |

I have no intention of crapping on SourceForge. I am merely making an observation. I think many would agree that users have lost trust in Sourceforge regardless of the history or current state of ownership.
In fact, I used to appreciate loganabbott's (the new president of Sourceforge) attempt to amend SourceForge until today when I see the same person posting insinuating and insulting comments towards potential users.
I have no intention of crapping on SourceForge because SourceForge is largely irrelevant to me. I host my projects on GitHub these days. If GitHub becomes untenable for any reason, I might move to Gitea. But I am definitely not coming back to Sourceforge after seeing these juvenile comments coming off from the president of Sourceforge in this thread. Don't know about others but he has definitely managed to piss me off as a user.
Regarding why Sourceforge gets the kind of flak other companies don't, I have commented about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17281519 (again this is merely a conversation, not a passing of judgement).
