Hello,

This is a freedom issue. Hosting a free software project on github, which requires nonfree javascript, is a moral compromise no one should make, and in fact will effectively deter the participation of contribution and bug reports (because you need an account to submit new issue, etc.). Furthermore, copilot will proprietarize free software, especially they don't care about GPL violation.

Please see here and (here)[https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/]

Free replacement exists, like Codeberg.org (100% free javascript, under review by GNU), essentially a github clone with a free-software-oriented philosophy. The underlying forgejo software is available for anyone to self-host. Ad: In fact, I myself host one, and it's available for public use (forgejo.jing.rocks).

Good point about non free js. While dormant dynebolic was simply parked here, but now it is accepting contributions it should rely on 100% free infra. We will reorganize the repository hosting platform and update this issue and the homepage information with progresses.
