Why I no longer use GitHub (2018)

and the fact that these projects stay behind inconveniences me, as a FOSS contributor, especially if they outright refuse to collaborate outside of GitHub and they insist on you making an account, opening pull requests and new issues through the web interface. and GitHub knows that your project’s success is imperative to its own success, since it means more people signing up to contribute, more people being exposed to its nice, incorrect, not-git interface, and thus more people becoming locked in to GitHub as well. or, you could take advantage of the fact that there are people interested in abandoning the GitHub and social-coding ecosystems just like I am: sr.ht is both a service that you can sign up for as well as a suite of programs you can set up on your own server to provide something similar to what I have described above.
