I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero’s source Incase something bad happens.
You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!
That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.
@mister_monster @4rkal Agreed. Surprising for me, as well. I suppose for the git-stuff, the community is complacent with the fact that github still hasn’t tried any shenanigans. Most of the issue tickets are opened there, and most of the code and protocol related discussions use github’s infra. There is too much inertia to overcome to make the change from github to a git[dot]getmonero.org, for instance.
Regarding the forum: agreed. However, we still have monero.town that is positioned to become the forum-like discussion medium, which is independent of the reddit.
