except the free account on github is lots of work and needs your data. 2FA is required. it's why i deleted my account a while ago. it's just not worth maintaining it any more.

    Surely 2FA being required is a good thing?

    It's also lots of work to make free and open source projects, which is why i say good bug reports are a valuable type of contribution. It is a type of contribution. Imo setting up a free account is the least thing someone can do if they use the project.

    And anyone who cares about privacy can use junk data and one time email (this should just be standard practice for anyone that cares and why i didn't mention it). 2fa is a small issue too IMO.

    I don't particularly care for github either but if a project is on github then that's how the maintainers are expecting contributions--if you want to help in some way, or want your bug fixed, then you'll need an account or try contacting them in other way.
