The reason is that I'm trying to keep my messages effective. If I complain against everything at the same time, I risk being ignored.
I don't like the closed nature of GitHub neither. I hope the free software world move away at some point.
The open source world can't seem to avoid locking itself in those closed tools, I would really like if we stopped doing this.
I chose Discord because I see it as a bigger issue than GitHub, with which one can interact with standard tools like emails and git, and basic stuff work without JS. So one can both refuse to run non-free code and interact with GitHub. Still not ideal and concerning.
Try to go back to the early 2000s and tell someone that the open source world is going to trust MS to host all their stuff. You would probably have difficulties to be taken seriously.
(Although it is to be noted that back then many people used SourceForge which was also proprietary)
