What's the value proposition of not using Github? Github is such an incredibly useful project. I actually go out of my way to avoid projects on Gitlab and co, just because I don't want to have to worry that it's going to just disappear one day because they thought they could out-build Microsoft.
Your argument seems to be based on the idea that Microsoft would do a better job than its competition technically. The fact that you're happy to rely on them also seems to imply you think they're unlikely to act abusively. However, you're writing your comment in a thread about a similar megacorporation, Google, who is acting abusively, because their engineers are saying parsing a robots.txt file would be too difficult.
I actually wasn't making an argument but posing a question. Your reply seems defensive and emotional.
I'm not sure what you mean by "act abusively" since the core of the product is storing and viewing source code. I mean, I could verify checksums if I needed to, and such a thing is common in workplaces I frequent.
What I asked before, and I will reiterate for an additional attempt to your comprehension, is how can Sourcehut store and view source code BETTER than Github can?
