Too bad there aren't any GitHub alternatives for them to post future exploits on.

    I have to assume being sarcastic. But if not a locally hosted gitea is trivial to set up.

    Everyone keeps mentioning this but what about Codeberg or one of the other ones I see mentioned here a lot?

    Are those not viable alternatives that you don't have to self host?

    Codeberg would be sympathetic to the cause but does not have the €€ or legal power to deal with being bullied by microSLOP. :( Corporate law in Europe (and everywhere) is written to favour & protect big corps and corruption & bribery.
