It is a very good idea to get rid of both as far and soon as possible. And, as I wrote at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43793095 in some circles it already became very fashionable to call GitHub "ShitHub" and somewhat look down upon open-source projects that have their central repository on GitHub (i.e. are willing to enslave themselves to Microsoft for some stupid "network effect").

I talk to a lot of people developing both open-source, and proprietary software. Some of those are on GitHub, others on SourceHut, others on Codeberg. I have never heard, not even once, a single person other than you use the word ShitHub.

Maybe it's used in some obscure circle you are in, but it's nowhere close to fashionable.

You’ve said this a few times, without stating which circles? I assume mostly among four-year-olds given the level of wit involved?

They are attributing it "in some circles", like when a news actor says, "some people say". They are only trying to making shithub catch on like M$.

Although, given how lax they have been at removing Golang infected malware, it might just have legs.
