Why are people talking about useless social networks and not the ones that actually matter?
Lets talk Github people. Can Github escape the enshittification trap? Because not even Sourceforge escaped enshittification... and Github is now owned by Microsoft.
So far GitHub under MS seems better than before. But I still plan to move all my projects to GitLab, because I don't trust them. But it's gonna be hard.
I hope you like clutter because gitlab's interface is atrocious...
We use a self-hosted GitLab in my job so I know my way around it.
Some parts are better. Github actions is still a dumpster fire.
My god it is; I had to jump through so many hoops to get it to do what I want..
Going with no, Github won't escape it because "enshittification" is just "monetization" to all of the corporations making those decisions.
Tbh the git app or protocol makes it so easy to get up and relocate.. and programmers in general are probably some of the most capable users of relocating that even if it were to happen many of them wouldn't care that much. It's a good portfolio site and decent for collaboration of many projects. Doesn't currently get in the way and provides good or better visibility for projects than gitlab or bitbucket. Till the visibility issue is resolved better by a competitor that offers something significantly better or github makes disastrous decisions then people will be happy at github. Regardless I don't think there would be much drama around moving homes if that day ever comes.
Agreed. Also social connections isn't the primary goal. In fact doing anything related to that would be weird in Github
