That is not my problem since I saw the problem years ago and chose to self-host instead. Rather than others complain to GitHub, they might as well self-host instead for reliability.
If you can setup a simple SaaS website, you can easily self-host a Gitlab / Gitea instance for 1 to 5 people. It's not that hard.

The schadenfreude for GitHub's unreliability and some of its fans celebrating monthly down time only makes it hilarious to watch.
