#GitHub

in reply to chrysn

@chrysn I do that on codeberg, but self-hosted would be better for sure. Can't put time and energy into everything, though.

@mcr314 I've started this too, but I think that by the letter, Codeberg only works only for drafts where all authors agree on a more permissive license than notewell'd, eg. codeberg.org/chrysn/packed-by-…

@chrysn This is a criteria I hadn't considered. It doubles my belief that the IETF ought to run it's own gitlab.

@mcr314 @chrysn Or forgejo, which is what Codeberg runs.

OR, but that's probably just me, not submit actual drafts to IETF.

It's not that I have much against it. It's that it's not really the place for most of what I do, I found out.

In the end, it's currently a distraction that I don't need. Some day that may change again.

Of course that's not everybody's situation.

When you delete your account, any submissions you made (e.g. PRs) get a little ghost icon on #GitHub

That means there's the *perfect* hashtag slogan for leaving this mess behind: #GhostGitHub

Let's make this A Thing, yes?

#GitHub #GiveUpGitHub

I have no idea how original that thought is, but I was certainly struck by it earlier. 👻

I deleted a Github account a few years ago (wasn't my only account, which is a different, longer part of the story I'm going to try to leave aside, for now).

I am still, like, as of this past week, finding all the odd ways a deleted account still manifests itself on the site.
