Maintaining a project on microsoft/azure github seems as bad as maintaining a profile on X. Reputational damage for maintaining a github repo will hopefully catch up to reality soon.
It's bonkers that we let the free/open source community get so comprehensively captured by closed source, inhumane corporate tech.
If your community on there doesn't have an exit plan, it might be worth applying some pressure !
@yaxu unfortunately I don't think I can spend my reputation on moving our projects away from GitHub to another Git forge. Double-edged sword: I think it would be good to do so because we're literally teaching young people to use GitHub; but the other side of that is that it really has to be worth the effort of rewriting all our course materials & using a platform that instructors, mentors, universities, etc. are less familiar with.
But https://backstitch.dev/ is our escape hatch!
