For the past hour, the PR or Issues pages would load with 0 items. Occasionally, there’s an error toast mentioning ‘failure to fetch data’.
Pr's don't load, issues don't load. Pretty much unusable for dev workflows. I felt like a lot of the hand wringing over GH reliability was a bit dramatic but this one seems pretty major (at least for me) and doesn't seem to even be getting that much coverage.
we'll start posting only when gh is 100% up and it'll make it to the frontpage
I think we have given GitHub enough time (more than half a decade) after Microsoft acquired it to sort itself out.

It is now being run into the ground.

At this point their chatbots Tay.ai, Zo, and Copilot are wrecking the platform and there is no CEO of GitHub to complain to about this so it now makes no sense to use GitHub at all. (Especially GitHub Actions)

It is now time to self host and not "centralize everything to GitHub". [0]

For the record, it's failing silently, too, showing e.g. "There aren’t any open pull requests." even though there are dozens. That's pretty bad, this will definitely mislead people.
Yeah I think I've finally had enough. I need to start seriously advocating for alternatives since this is starting to impact our business. It's clearly not getting any better.

Releases aren't being published for me.
It's a day ending in y so, yes, there's a GitHub outage.
Hate GitHub being down, plus hate AI stealing your code? Join sourcehut--it has worked great for me, and I'd love to see it flourish as a platform.
I am once again here to say that my gitea has better uptime since I deployed it. It's way snappier too. Long live self-hosting. Diversify from the cloud, build your own!
Its sad that we are reaching the point where a large swatch of he planet is affected by the same thing and we don't get much of an investigation
It feels like that every time I need to put in some evening hours to get things done, github knows and turns the chaos monkey up to eleven.
Maybe that's why I couldn't filter my stars by language
At this point it's a weekly occurrence...
I am on azure US east and I suspect this is an azure service issue.

I don't trust Microsoft's status page. It might be "fine" over all but it definitely is not fine for me.
