+I rarely interact with [Github](https://github.com) anymore. All my projects are either on my selfhosted [Gitea](https://gitea.io) instance or on [Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/). That's why I missed the following on [Github Status](https://www.githubstatus.com/):

+*Yikes*
+
+Yikes, indeed. How everyone handles this is up to them. Large projects will find it hard to move, no doubt.
+
+My interpretation? The Microsoft Github ship is sinking and it's sinking faster every day. The beauty is: you don't need them. Instead of relying on Github, you could:
+
+- selfhost your own [Gitea](https://gitea.io) instance if you have the knowledge;
+- use [Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/) which also uses [Gitea](https://gitea.io);
+- use any instance generously hosted by amazing people (think [libreho.st](https://libreho.st/) and [Chatons](https://chatons.org/))
+- use [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/) or selfhost an instance.
+
+There are so many better places to be for git hosting nowadays. Abandon the corporate ship before or after it sinks, up to you.
