If you consider that an American maintainer was cheesed off enough to move an entire project off GitHub two days before Thanksgiving then the tone of the original post was completely in line with the energy involved.

Anger is a communication tool. It should absolutely be used when boundaries are being violated. Otherwise you’ll get walked all over.

The Zig post has since been updated and the objectionable parts have been removed. I think we can put that part to rest.

Idk, if being bad is the reason for leaving Github Actions, I think people would have left it ages ago. It stuck not because it is better than competitors but because it is included in the Github plans. It's decaying implies that it has somehow became worse, in fact it was one of the worst implementation to start with.

GitHub has seem to come under the same management as VSCode, everything has to be made AI and that is the only priority. It's like the Google+ of old but stupider.

Combined with security concerns, this made us reconsider even our self-hosted GH Actions last month.

GH Packages is something we're extricating ourselves from after today too. One more outage in the next year and maybe we get the ammunition to move away from GH entirely.

It's still hard to believe that they couldn't even keep the lights on on this thing.
