⚠ Gitea versions note: Gitea 1.14.0 [breaks][gitea-bug] emoji in some browsers. The developers [believe](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/444#issuecomment-198199) that by not supplying fonts to the web visitors who need them, they are improving server performance. Of course the server load is only reduced when talking to a browser that does not have the needed fonts. The idiots could also simply arbitrarily deny service to users at random to get a performance increase. Obviously they have misunderstood the point of performance in the first place: availability!

# Direct practical problems with using Microsoft Github
1. A survey [shows][0] that a significant number of bug reports are
**withheld** when the bug tracker is inside a restrictive or
politically controversial walled-garden like MS Github or
gitlab.com.
gitlab.com. This ultimately hinders the quality of software in the
commons.
1. Github is Tor-hostile [according to Tor project][1]. GH has
started forcing Tor users through an extra email verification step
that effectively discourages bug reports:

Security incompetence is further showcased by an MS-imposed requirement

1. MS suppresses democracy by [blocking][7] Github access to a project
that facilitates protests in Catalonia.
MS also [banned][45] the account of an anti-censorship developer.
1. In 2021 1st quarter, MS [sabotaged][46] the deCloudflare
[project][47], a charitable humanitarian project that gives the
general public tools and knowledge to avoid Cloudflare. MS did
that silently and without warning or discussion.
1. Free software projects that rely on non-free software
"[put everyone at the whim of the groups and individuals who produce the tools they depend on][8],"
and it puts free software developers in a position of hypocrisy.
