hot take, FOSS 

The creation of Github has been terrible for FOSS.

Not because the situation before Github was so good (it wasn't), but because Github didn't actually solve any of those problems but it made it *look* like it did, and at the same time socially 'locked in' a toxic contribution and interaction model.

@joepie91 I think it's not a great take,
Github has brought a lot of good def around it's existence. But, by now, we have alternatives so we should start switching away.

@thibaultmol (Also, *do* we have alternatives? Because as far as I can tell, all of the alternatives people usually suggest are functionally just clones of Github and its model)
