Got spam emails this morning by someone who opened an issue on GitHub with what was probably a very unsafe link and then just tagged dozens of users over and over and over. Why we needed 50 copies in a row of the same notification, IDK. Thankfully, the account is terminated already, but if this starts to be a regular thing, I might have to abandon GitHub altogether.

@hosford42Aaron I have copies of all my public repositories on GitHub still, because on GitHub they're discoverable. But GitHub is no longer a safe place for people; it's increasingly an engine of exploitation, and it's increasingly a place where malefactors are tolerated.

I am really looking forward to the point where federation in @forgejo works well, so that we can have reasonable discoverability in .

Installing Forgejo

Most of my open source work is on Github. It's been there for years — since long before Github was bought by Microsoft. Github has a lot of good features, not least that, following on from Freshmeat in the 1990s and Sourceforge in the 2000s, it has become the go-to place so look for interesting open source projects and libraries.
