The real lock-in is stars, and not reliability

as someone who has been stuck in github for a hundred years and pays essentially zero attention to stars, eh.

for me the lock in is cheap data reliability and low chance of loss. downtime problems blow, but if they lost any of my data for any reason other than a eula/tos violation or some such then i'd run.

Everybody claims to not care about GitHub stars even though there are tons of websites for buying them.
