Stephen McMasterResearchers have uncovered that data on GitHub repositories, once thought to be deleted, may still be accessible. This poses a concerning risk as sensitive information like access keys could potentially be exposed even after deletion.

bojkotiMalbonaWhat’s most surprising about #Github being so seriously compromized is not the attack itself, but the lack of #fediverse attention. So many #FOSS developers have become comfortable enough with #Microsoft that there’s no real concern or #fedi chatter. The #deleteGithub movement remains dead.
censored for “transphobia”#deleteGithub ppl: the #waybackMachine is moving backwards. This page shows they moved /from/ #sourceHut /to/ #Github: https://github.com/orgs/internetarchive/repositories?page=2&type=all WTF. #giveUpGithub

Thanks for doing this, Software Conservancy. 💖 Its indeed time to #GiveUpGIthub.
Thanks also for pointing out that #gitlab.com is problematic, its also CloudFlare. Likewise Sourceforge is CloudFlare and #Atlassian and #Gitter are Amazon.
DotCons abound.
Gitea seems to work well. Some Gitea instances include:
- Disroot
- unite.openworlds.info
- phreedom.club
- mirkodi.tech
We will be boosting, for different timezones.
guenther@SpaceGeek Good thing most of the implementations seem to be hosted on Microsoft's own repo website:

Should make it easier for them to enforce proper licensing of the patent. #DeleteGithub
(3/3)
- blocking #democracy (#Catalonia, anti-#censorship devs),
- quietly sabotaging #deCloudflare, a charitable, #humanitarian project giving the public tools to avoid #Cloudflare, with a dev also suspended.
FOSS projects that *rely* on hostile services put everyone at the whim of the entity and puts those #freeSoftware devs in a position of #hypocrisy.

@deejoe @celia @klaatu @dsfgs I've been part of the #deleteGithub movement, so I've seen a lot of people's reasons behind staying on #Github. The top two reasons people give for opposing migration off Github: 1) unwillingness to create yet another account 2) being where everyone else is for project visibility. I wish I had kept stats, but that's burned in my memory. Point 1 is wholly a matter of effort.
