Ask HN: Why are people leaving GitHub now?

What did I miss, why do I see so much posts about people leaving GitHub NOW?

Interestingly, if you're in a EU timezone or near it, Github is normally pretty good. It's mostly affecting the Americans.

I am in the EU timezone and had some minor issues recently with GitHub as well, but it never lasts very long.

Ah I see. Yeah did not experience issues here in the EU.

Three things, Reliability is gone. Hashimoto (Ghostty) just left two days ago, Copilot is being forced and downtime. I left last week and moved to a selfhosted git.

Their uptime sucks enough that it's a real problem and not just an annoyance.
