You know people were saying this was going to happen eventually back in 2018 when that happened, right?
We have seen how much MicroSlop has stopped caring about their products over the last few years, so this shouldn’t be that surprising.
Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why

Sure, but my point is that the purchase isn’t why this happened. It’s huge stretch to say that, we’re way past the teething stages here and it’s been a Microsoft product for a long time now. No love lost for Microsoft by me, I’m full-time on Linux anyhow so it’s not like I’m defending them or something absurd.
GitHub themselves have gotten to be a big company and big companies make heavy-handed and controversial decisions on their own. Maybe GitHub is the baddie is all I’m trying to say here.

There’s a bit of merit to that. After a purchase, a lot of people are wary, and likely to magnify any changes that happen immediately. They need a period of stabilization to dissuade fears, and assure that “nothing will change in the long run”. Even this article is highlighting what happened around a month ago over a period of time, because it wasn’t apparent in the moment.
