Why I left GitHub

Big tech's tightening control over our tools undermines true open-source values and user autonomy. GitHub's slide toward aggressive monetisation, invasive AI training on public code, and bloated social features has pushed me to take back control.

Instead of relying on GitHub, I've moved my projects to a self-hosted Forgejo instance. If you'd like to access or contribute to my work, you can mirror it on a platform like Codeberg or register directly on my instance at https://git.ari.lt/.

Let's keep open source genuinely open and collaborate on our own terms.
