On GitHub's downfall

I’ve seen a few posts recently lamenting GitHub’s current downfall1. While I can’t deny that I understand the sentiment, I must admit that I don’t share in the least. I’m glad that GitHub is finally starting to fall apart. Around 12 years ago I used Facebook because a lot of people who I knew from real life used it as their sole communication platform, and offline groups coordinated their activities exclusively through it. I didn’t enjoy using it, quite the contrary, I tolerated it as a means to an end. For the longest time, GitHub has felt like Facebook. A platform that I have to deal with because I want to collaborate with projects hosted there. I contribute to them despite being hosted at GitHub, not because of it. I don’t rant to project authors about it either; I stay polite and focused, reserving my opinion to myself unless it’s relevant to the topic at hand. I won’t deny that GitHub had many good aspects unique to it, and these are precisely why it managed to centralise so much…
