Get off of GitHub

Edit: On topic: I've been meaning to move to Gitlab but Github still has a strong pull on me. I have a really good profile there which is useful when I look for work, and the barrier of entry to contributing to other open source projects is immeasurably great. Github has actually made open source fun.

The recent developments are extremely worrisome though. I was hoping we'd get some more years from Github before they turn awful... thankfully, the tie-in only goes as far as the profile itself, there are excellent backup[1] and conversion tools which have been recently linked on HN - and of course, there's Gitlab.

Apparently the site owner has blocked everyone from Finland and possibly Estonia as a protest after "an incident at the border" since summer 2015: https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/754757

I know that it's blocked in Russia at least because of hosting some drugs-related content.
