description: Quitting GitHub |

Mass censorship, [privacy violations and trackings](https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/australia-surveillance-bill/) |
||||
are surging everywhere right now. |
||||
|
||||
Given Microsoft's acquisiton of GitHub in 2018, the temporary censorship |
||||
of [youtube-dl](https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing-up-for-developers-youtube-dl-is-back/), |
||||
GH's [Copilot](https://copilot.github.com/), I don't think GH |
||||
is a good place to store my repositories anymore. |
||||
|
||||
GitLab (gitlab.com instance) is not a good choice either because |
||||
they block TOR users: |
||||
|
||||
```shell |
||||
$ torsocks --isolate git clone https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8 |
||||
Cloning into 'flake8'... |
||||
fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8/': The requested URL returned error: 403 |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Moreover, they have the |
||||
[annoying captcha and the anti DDOS things that never work](https://forum.gitlab.com/t/cant-open-the-signin-page-it-keeps-showing-checking-your-browser-before-accessing-gitlab-com/45857) |
||||
which prevented me from logging in with some browsers so I removed my account there. |
||||
|
||||
Have a look at these posts for other reasons: |
||||
|
||||
- [https://thelig.ht/abandoning-github/](https://thelig.ht/abandoning-github/) |
||||
- [https://sanctum.geek.nz/why-not-github.html](https://sanctum.geek.nz/why-not-github.html) |
||||
|
||||
Anyway I will keep the account for now in case I have to contribute to some |
||||
project hosted on GH. |
||||
|
||||
## Current hostings |
||||
|
||||
For the moment my repositories are hosted here: |
||||
|
||||
- [https://software.franco.net.eu.org/frnmst](https://software.franco.net.eu.org/frnmst) |
||||
- personal instance |
||||
- see [this](https://software.franco.net.eu.org/frnmst/software.franco.net.eu.org/src/branch/master/privacy_policy.md#user-content-table-of-contents) |
||||
- [https://codeberg.org/frnmst](https://codeberg.org/frnmst) |
||||
- *Codeberg is a community-driven, non-profit software development platform operated by Codeberg e.V. and centered around Codeberg.org, a Gitea-based software forge.* |
||||
- [https://framagit.org/frnmst](https://framagit.org/frnmst) |
||||
