It is a very good idea to get rid of both as far and soon as possible. And, as I wrote at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43793095 in some circles it already became very fashionable to call GitHub "ShitHub" and somewhat look down upon open-source projects that have their central repository on GitHub (i.e. are willing to enslave themselves to Microsoft for some stupid "network effect").

I talk to a lot of people developing both open-source, and proprietary software. Some of those are on GitHub, others on SourceHut, others on Codeberg. I have never heard, not even once, a single person other than you use the word ShitHub.

Maybe it's used in some obscure circle you are in, but it's nowhere close to fashionable.

You’ve said this a few times, without stating which circles? I assume mostly among four-year-olds given the level of wit involved?

They are attributing it "in some circles", like when a news actor says, "some people say". They are only trying to making shithub catch on like M$.

Although, given how lax they have been at removing Golang infected malware, it might just have legs.

Wikipedia calls those "weasel words".

Crates.io stopped relying on Github in June 2023. Now Cargo uses sparse HTTP-based index lookups rather than cloning the old git-based index repo (the old repo is still offered for users on older versions). And the crates themselves have never been served from Github. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/06/01/Rust-1.70.0/#sparse-by...
