It isn't and it is a valid comparison.

> GitHub has gigabytes of pushes and pulls every minute, runs complex user-programmable workflows, and is the backbone of many of the world's companies.

You forgot that all of this is being run by Microsoft which makes this excuse even worse than Twitter / X's situation given the streams, spaces, videos, and over 500M+ posts per day.

I would expect GitHub to have a much better record in uptime with the help of Microsoft after the acquisition. It has gotten even worse.

You can say that but that doesn't make it true. GitHub is a massively complex behemoth orders of magnitude larger that Twitter, it simply isnt comparable. It also regularly gets shat on for its poor uptime.

With Microsoft, GitHub should have a far higher uptime than Twitter / X. But GitHub even has a worse track record of uptime with less users than Twitter / X does.

With MS footing the bill, there really is zero excuses for GitHub falling over frequently and deservedly gets shat on under that same standard of uptime that Twitter / X is under.
