Yes, I read it. It’s bullshit from start to finish: the “problems” are made up. GitHub is not a monopoly, and nobody forces you to use it. If you don’t like it, self-host or use another forge. Everyone is free to choose what’s convenient and best for their own projects. Prescribing what others should do is the height of idiocy.

If you’re one of those ancient people who, for whatever reason, still want to deal with email and mailing lists, you can still do it. Git lets you produce patches and send them by email. But expecting everyone else to cater to that preference is absurd.

The real question isn’t "What’s wrong with GitHub?" It’s "What’s wrong with Stallman?"

  • Email is a democratized decentralized highly resilient communication platform.

    GitHub requires a central identity service, now controlled by a monopolistic mega corporation.

    This is everyone's problem. Some people just don't understand why that's a problem, yet.
