I guess when GitHub goes down, it is somehow strangely tolerated for years even after the acquisition and goes down more times than Twitter. When the latter encounters a speed-bump, just like the 'interview' with Trump, it's global news because a Mr Elon Musk owns it.
Both seem to be doing too much all at once. But really it is worse with Github if this is what Microsoft stewardship is incidents every, single week and each month guaranteed for years.
What makes you say it’s “somehow strangely tolerated” when GitHub goes down?
What’s the point of bringing up twitter? It is strange to seek victimhood for a petulant billionaire. Of course, it is worse with GitHub because GitHub actually provides useful functionality.

The same folks complaining about something at GitHub going down are the same people that stay and are willing to tolerate the regular incidents and chaos on the site.
It is the fact that not only the Github incidents have been happening for years, it has gotten worse as there is an incident every month.

That isn’t an excuse for tolerating regular downtime for a site with over 100m+ active users, especially with it running under Microsoft stewardship who should know better.
Any other site with that many users and with a horrendous record of downtime like Github would be rightfully branded as unreliable. No excuses.

Anyways. #hugops for the GitHub team.
