I've been on GitHub since 2008, and I still use it every day as part of my job. I've no major complaints -- I'm still worlds happier using it than when I'm forced to use Jira or similar. Still, something has shifted in the last 16 years.
I get regular emails from their salespeople trying to upsell us on more expensive enterprise plans; that's how it goes in a capitalist society, but I prefer my tech a little scrappier. I'm not crazy about Git -- open-source, decentralized technology -- becoming largely synonomous with a closed-source, centralized platform owned by a three-trillion dollar company, nor about my work and personal coding activity being all mixed up together. Furthermore, the way they've used open-source code to train up their LLM (Copilot) that they then sell back to developers doesn't sit right with me.

I learned about SourceHut from [Tim Hårek][3] and have been following along for a few years. A thread on Mastodon (alas, lost in the void) about Copilot finally motivated me to sign up. I happily paid $20 to support the effort as well as to get access to SourceHut Builds, their GitHub Actions equivalent ([this post about why they require a paid account to use CI][4] is a gem).
