On: GitHub lost $66M in nine months of 2016

[tscs37]

I personally moved away from Github, mostly due to political issues, secondarily because of this funding issue. Can't keep burning money forever.

I put my private stuff on my own Gogs instance or on Bitbucket, tho I like Gogs UI much better, it's closer to github. The community fork of it, Gitea, is also making progress to enable pull request federation.

Would be awesome if I could work together with people using Gitlab, Github or Gitea without them having to sign up to my site. They just fork to their own site, make their patches and submit the pull request to my upstream.

GitHub has little value to me, the social network they built can move elsewhere like it is for many programmers and coders.

Which political issues? I'm honestly curious.

I'm guessing parent is referring to stuff like the "meritocracy rug" and "code of conduct".

I'm not particularly comfortable with how Github has handled their community and executes takedowns of repositories.

I don't feel like my code would be safe on github.
