Who cares if nobody can work, the important is that those illegal streams are blocked

the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won’t ever move away.

That's what they said about Sourceforge though.

Github probably won't shoot ~~themselves~~ their userbase in the dick quite as spectacularly as Sourceforge did, though.

At least they're less obvious about it.

Sourceforge 🤮

[-] tux0r@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Oh, come on. It wasn't that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.

It wasn't! It's ugly, slow, and hard to use right now! 🤪

To be fair there are still oodles of projects there. I end up on source forge regular basis.

[-] tux0r@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

One of the reasons might be that the number of SVN hosting facilities has decreased over the past two decades.

I guess. I haven't lived through its golden age as a developer, but, seeing it now, anything would be better than Sourceforge IMO, so I would understand why people would move away even just for practical reasons
