why?

I don't want my code hosted someplace where I have no control of it

Microsoft (Github) has a history of blocking people out of their services and then ignoring them alltogether.

Basically:

• I want everyone to be able to use my code, regardless of race, ethnicity and country of birth

• I want to have control over my code, so that I can access it forever and that no government or corporation can block me to do so
