I'm a bit out of the loop, why are people moving away from Github?

Zero to one nines of uptime. Shoving copilot in everyone’s faces rather than focusing on quality. Threatening to charge people for self-hosted runners.

Mainly this https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ But also product decisions that don't seem to be aligned with the preferences of users... see https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github

		I will say, to their credit, there has been a ~25% yoy commit increase since the introduction of AI. That's a pretty significant jump on an already popular site, at the same time they're supposed to be training models for search and other features. I think most sites that see that sort of increase will experience increased downtime
