Did you expect anything different? If microsoft didn't ruin most of what they touched, they wouldn't be microsoft.

That's fundamentally who they are.

Break things, to make money! That's also redhat too as well.

That seems to be one of the best refuges available but since I am not an active git user these days, I have no personal experience. As to moving off our current git . . . low priority because it still works . . .

Early on, Devuan was on gitlab . . . then moved to gitea. There have been changes in gitea too but no serious talk about another move.

I wanted to ask whether GitLab would be a feasible alternative/option to GitHub?

What are your suggestions?

GitHub even added nonsense AI feature called "Issue creating with Copilot", It's an public preview since 19 May
What's worse that it cannot be opt out and disabled, possibly leaving GitHub issues with nonsense unhelpful useless issues flooded in it.

This video made by Brodie Robertson showing AI sloppy nonsense features being added in GitHub

What about Microsoft pushing even far more AI sloppy features into GitHub.
