The reason people cite when defending Github usually isn't the repisitory hosting itself, but the extra features like oull request management and issue tracker that also generate massive network effects by enabling the same accounts to participate in all public projects. Github is nore of a social network posing as a development tool.

Don't forget the little `alpha` tag next to tangled !

If I'm working in software development, the last thing I want to do is trust my coding workflow to an alpha-state platform.

Surely can't be worse than GitHub going down every 15 minutes no?

		Also remember "git" is decentralized itself, you're supposed to have your git repo locally too, if PR's, or issues or comments are "alpha" your code shouldn't be affected by it at all Im personally down to try alpha software usually, i just havent found the need to retrain all my muscle memory to not use GH yet, as much as I hate it's owned by microsoft nowadays. They also do offer pretty good "free tier" services for CI via Actions that otherwise you'd need to pay yourself
