i do actually think github is bad but in the way that i think if the people who ran notable project githubs instead ran forums, they would be the saddest, most depressing forums around, whereas github just normalizes it
but at the same time there are fairly indie, single-developer projects out there where the person in charge actually knows how to listen and communicate and it CAN work; there are projects i am subscribed to on github where i read about every message because the discussions are largely good and interesting
and then there are the projects run by people in tech who just wanted to make their idea a reality and selectively communicate with people who either already agree with them or meet some notability criteria they respect
