Some reasonable arguments, followed by an absurd suggestion for self-hosting which completely ignores why most people use Github in the first place - visibility, publicity, access to a large pool of potential contributors/boosters, not to mention a clean and consistent interface.
The early web is just not coming back, most people do not want to deal with hand-rolled homepages and quirky repositories. It would have made more sense to nominate a competitor with at least some traction/name recognition, like Gitlab.

Not sure that the arguments are reasonable.
This 3rd-level-derivative blaming Microsoft for innocent causalities in the war against terrorism... may work for some people, but certainly would not work for many OSS developers.
Using this 3rd-level-derivative logic that the author is using, could one assume that the author of this post supports the murderer, Elias Rodriguez?

Unfortunately projects not on GitHub seem to lack visibility.
Self hosting GitLab is the best option if you don't need visibility.
