When you delete your account, any submissions you made (e.g. PRs) get a little ghost icon on #GitHub

That means there's the *perfect* hashtag slogan for leaving this mess behind: #GhostGitHub

Let's make this A Thing, yes?

#GitHub #GiveUpGitHub

Today I've migrated my first repo to @Codeberg . And it has been easy and enjoyable... and of course I've happily become member to contribute with my donation #GiveUpGitHub #motivosparaserfeliz #privacy

It feels like sticking a plaster on a suppurating wound, but at least we can try.

If you use VS Code and/or GitHub, check that you disabled all Copilot-related settings (even if you've already done that a while ago in case they snuck them back in).

Starting April 24, they will use any of your "inputs" to train their "AI".

@Wuzzy There is literally and figuratively not one single technical reason to NOT #GiveUpGitHub
Give Up GitHub - Software Freedom Conservancy

The Software Freedom Conservancy provides a non-profit home and services to Free, Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects.

I recently did #GiveUpGitHub and moved all my repos to @Codeberg and a personal @gitea instance, while leaving behind only those that are forks of GitHub-hosted #FOSS projects. It was fairly easy for me, as I do not maintain any popular repo, and am not tied to any org using GH, but I strongly believe that every person counts. A true revolution is a sum of many small disobediences and riots. Fuck #BigTech, let's regain control of what belongs to us, people.

@oatmeal It would be amazing if @linuxmint would #giveUpGitHub too.
