Does GitHub kind of suck now?

Random cert expirations, exposed their private key, Actions outages regularly now. Man, I miss the GitHub of 2 years ago.

Does anyone else think GitHub kind of sucks these days?

Github has always sucked.

Like so many other tech companies nowadays, they've become overrun with angry nerds and parasitic rule-makers who overestimate the value they provide and take it for granted that the customer will always be there to put up with their condescending, controlling bullshit. When you're busy generating "policies" for the customer, you're in the declining region of the business lifecycle. They'll either figure it out and fix it or another company will come along and obliterate them. And remember, competition always benefits the customer.

I'm looking forward to Github's future replacement.

It’s funny they made me turn on 2FA a long time ago, I thought they did it to everybody but I found out that happened last week…. No idea why it happened to me a few years early.
No, that didn't happen last week.

I still don't use 2FA

Not your point, but the GitHub UI always sucked, in my opinion.
