The only lock-in for github is issue tracking and actions, yes? The actions lock-in could be significant, but issues can be exported and moved.

I'm glad we live far enough in the future that there are several alternatives. Of course sad to see github has come to this.

Migrating off Actions is a pain, but the real lock-in is the network effect. Moving to something like Codeberg means losing all those "drive-by" contributors who won't bother signing up for a new instance just for one small fix

Though given the current flood of AI slop, filtering out the casuals might actually be a feature, not a bug

I agree that sieve is now a feature. And I regret it.
