Get off of github.

Move towards selfhosting.

I haven't really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google's policies on Docs now that I'm thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren't as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn't want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I'm actually pretty sure I'm thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

If Github just kills repos without explanation, then using Github for anything is a mistake.

It's because they got bought out by Microsoft(currently microslop).

I really don't think I need to expand on that.

“Perhaps most frustratingly, all of the tickets, pull requests, past release builds and changelogs are gone, because those things are not part of Git (the version control system),” Sauceke told me. “So even if someone had the foresight to make mirrors before the ban (as I did), those mirrors would only keep up with the code changes, not these ‘extra’ things that are pretty much vital to our work.”

What can be done about this?

For anyone that needs to know: it's criminally easy to set up git for multiple remotes, making a migration from GitHub a lot easier.

Remember that origin is just the default, and you can have any number configured you want.

• View all remotes: git remote -v
• Add new remote: git remote add $name $url
• Push to another remote: git push $remotename $branchname
• Pull from a specific remote: git pull $remotename/$branchname (note the slash)
• Fetch from all remotes: git fetch --all

The first two are just one-time setup, and the rest just get bolted onto your existing workflow. At some point, you'll want to use git remote move names around, possibly even making origin something other than GitHub. Cheers.

This smells suspiciously similar to the stuff affecting adult content on Steam, like Horses. No one's saying anything about any of it, which feels like that's on advice from their legal counsel.

damn. what a time to be alive.

GOTTA ASTROTURF THAT WEBSITE FOR ADVERTISERS BAYBEE. CANT WAIT FOR GITHUB POPUPS.

Sounds like advertisments are coming and advertisers want the platform squeaky clean. Either that or some lunatic group harrassed Github.

No shock Microsoft would do this.

This is just TOS enforcement, they updated their TOS in October. From the article:

Github updated its acceptable use policies in October 2025 to forbid “sexually themed or suggestive content that serves little or no purpose other than to solicit an erotic or shocking response, particularly where that content is amplified by its placement in profiles or other social contexts.” This include pornographic content and “graphic depictions of sexual acts including photographs, video, animation, drawings, computer-generated images, or text-based content,” according to the terms.
