A lot of people associated with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) have major objections to GitHub. Here's one summary: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/
But the TLDR; version is roughly:
Alternative do exist, and some like codeberg.org are specifically open sourced, and pro-open source, so many people are pushing to move hosting away from GitHub and onto other options.
Thanks for explaining it in such good detail but I was referring to your last sentence. I'm new to lemmy and I'm still looking for good communities and blocking the bad ones. I apologise for not being clear enough in the first reply.
Oh - this isn't a bad community, that isn't what I meant by my last sentence - this is just a place for memes and jokes more than serious discussion, hence my expectation of a serious discussion was subverted. But programmer humor is still a great place.
