I was just visiting the blog to try to find the announcement of the new PR-to-PR workflow, I was not looking for a dunk

I have been in the moderate camp on the issue of migrating off of Github, despite much cogently-argued advocacy from people I respect. Five minutes of scrolling through https://github.blog/ has done more to convince me that I really need to be making a plan to migrate away than anything they have said

@pythonbynight I have not visited the blog home page in a while but wow, even for someone like me who complains about this so much that even complaining about how much I complain is a regular part of my post repertoire, this is DIRE. I literally can't find anything useful on their homepage because it's buried in this disgusting pile of slop apologia

This is a truly, viscerally repulsive level of boosterism. I realize I'm just repeating myself here but it is literally shocking. Just from using the UI I did not realize how incredibly bad it had gotten

I do not even have a coherent metaphor for what I'm feeling. It's like going to your favorite restaurant where you know the quality of the food has been declining a bit, but it's still kinda fine and nowhere else in the neighborhood is really good enough to replace it, peeking into the kitchen, and seeing it packed floor-to-ceiling with e-meters, with the entire food prep area crammed into a corner where a single cook is working

@glyph Yeah, you definitely don't have a coherent metaphor for what you're feeling.

@glyph if nothing else, it is really, really obvious which pages Github engineers look at, and which ones only CTOs do.

@ouguoc I *used* to subscribe to the blog and read it regularly, I unsubbed when I started getting a *bit* of slopologia in my feed, but this is… more

@glyph I started doing shit on Codeberg because I have the relative advantage of being able to be more obstinate about things, but wow it feels more necessary than ever lately.

@glyph It is absurdly daunting. As someone with a lot less baggage invested in their ecosystem, I'm glad that I meandered over to codeberg at the end of 2024. There was a social aspect of GH that I sort of miss, but, to be honest, not all that much.

@pythonbynight @glyph "social aspect" you mean like https://github.com/neodrama/github-drama?

I realize I must not be the first person to make this joke but I just haven't seen it yet
