Since Microsoft acquisition GitHub quality seems in decline, constant outages, git pushes that doesn't goes through while status page is green and now the attempt to remove trending page...

Is it the end of the original GitHub's spirit as a social coding?

Not sure what you mean by "quality is in decline".

I'm pretty happy (much like others) with GitHub now more than ever. Github has been releasing new features left and right.

Some of them are an unwelcome sight (think Github Badges) while others (think Github Issues) are a super productive enhancement imo.

Honestly, I don't really see it. GitHub's availability has never been great and it doesn't really seem worse now aside from having more features to go wrong.

I haven't seen much change at all since the acquisition personally. Probably the only thing I can pick out is their dropping of Atom in favour of vscode.

What have you specifically seen change since the MS acquisition that's likely from MS and not just GitHub?

I don’t agree with this statement. Im happy to see the innovation that have come out from GitHub in the last years.

What im really missing and hoping for is an even more open and extensible community platform. Discussions is a good start, it would love to more innovation there.
