As a child of the 80s I find it weird to want to defend Microsoft but… I don’t think so.

What happened with Reddit and Twitter is they were small enough that incompetent short-termists VCs or delusional fascists were able to take them over without restraint.

Will MS try to squeeze a bit more revenue from GH in ways that are mildly annoying? Probably. Will they lay waste to the whole business by doing things that obviously destroy valuable good will? No.

Everything happening with Reddit will happen with GitHub.

@airspeedswift Also: GH has a bussiness plan and existing service revenue from it and is post-acquisition (i.e. effectively post-IPO). That takes certain pressures off the table.
