yeah what happens if a few years down the road, the company decided to close the free accounts? To me for open source project we need a way to archive the discussion and make it public not tight to any company or so.

I guess they'll move on somewhere else? Likelihood seems low, impact seems low. Why spend energy on it?

Ok but that's what you're interested in. Most people aren't into that.

I don't get why you'd expect all projects to be focused on your particular hobby interests?

Maybe I love typography. Why isn't this project paying more attention to the typography in their website damnit!

many services don't really migration of the data. Why would I want my data stuck some where?


> Why would I want my data stuck some where?

Nobody wants their data stuck - people assess the likelihood of that as low and the impact as low, so rationally don’t care about it.

If one of my personal projects was unilaterally deleted right now by GitHub it’d be annoying to lose my issues but I could recover ok. And I don’t think it’s likely anyway, so why worry?

People only have so much energy to spend worrying about things. Most would spend it building instead.

Can’t be that hard to understand?
