<h2>Why not just use GitHub?</h2>
|
|
<p>Fair question. Here is the honest answer.</p>

<h3>GitHub is greedy</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
GitHub gave students cool stuff, then slowly removes them,
|
|
moves stuff into more expensive plans. I am tired of depending
|
|
on free perks that can disappear whenever they feel like it —
|
|
Copilot Education/Pro for students had every good model stripped
|
|
out, making it practically worthless. Fuck GitHub.

<h3>It is owned by Microsoft</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
GitHub is owned by Microsoft. That alone is enough for me to hate it.
|
|
I do not want all of open source software sitting in the hands of a
|
|
giant company that makes closed-source software and loves locking
|
|
people into its ecosystem. I also despise Windows, but that is irrelevant.

<h3>AI slop everywhere</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
GitHub keeps pushing Copilot and AI into every corner. I do not want my
|
|
code host to constantly shove AI in my face. I just want somewhere to put
|
|
my repositories without feeling like everything is being turned into
|
|
training data or another Microsoft product.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This server is run by me, a random student, so you do not have to blindly
|
|
trust me either. But at least I am not a massive company trying to track you,
|
|
sell AI tools, or measure everything you do for profit. If that is not enough,
|
|
GitLab or Codeberg are still better than the alternative.

|
|
<h3>GitHub is a monopoly</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Everyone puts everything on GitHub now: code, issues, releases, docs, packages,
|
|
websites, actions, discussions, everything. That is way too much power for one
|
|
website owned by one company — especially when that company is Microsoft.

<h3>Self-hosting is better</h3>

|
|
This place exists because I wanted my own git host. No giant platform, no
|
|
corporate branding, no pretending this is the future of software. Just my own
|
|
little forge on my own domain, because running your own stuff is cool. Want your
|
|
own? Look up <a href="https://forgejo.org" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Forgejo</a> — it is great.
