Please don't attack people for showing up to engage in discussion like this. I'm sure you don't intend to, but it quickly becomes part of mob behavior. We don't want that on HN for obvious reasons, and I'm sure nobody intends it, exactly, but it happens all too easily anyhow.

>It’s rather bold to post here…

it is rather nice, honestly. would you prefer to scream into the void and not get any response at all?

an open line of communication with the responsible people seems like literally the best possible option, why are you actively discouraging it?

>Maybe you all want to talk to Microsoft PR/legal before posting?

you would rather not hear anything, or get word-salad legalese that doesnt mean anything? how exactly would that be better?

I’ve felt similarly about moving off GitHub. I bought a small 5U server rack years ago for my home network setup.

I’m considering getting a 1U device to host my own git server. I feel like if I move off, I should do it generally vs just moving to another provider who may also pull shenanigans.
