alt Hacker NewsInteresting indeed. I wonder how long GitHub as a platform will be there as a viable option. Anyone who remembers SourceForge?

Sourcehut is pretty good if you're willing to pay the (very reasonable may I add) prices
Just more Microslop, amazing...

It will be there for as long as you (and everyone else) keep using it.
A few decades? Its competitors are not magically immune to this kind of spam.
It will probably remain as a platform for a very long time.
SourceForge is still chugging along. It hosts some prominent projects:
It's baked in literally into every coding tutorial and is kind of industry standard, like JIRA. Maybe it's just an experiment at this moment.
It still exists. It's practically unusable without an adblocker (like slashdot) but the occasional old project is hosted there (particularly CDE. how the mighty have fallen)
