Much more reasonable to oppose 2026 X as the default platform than it was to oppose 2015 Twitter as the default platform.
I mean reasonable both times but you obviously understand why one might have changed their mind in recent years

I haven’t seen any suggestion in this thread. status.github.com fails many of these criteria.
It is unfortunate that they can’t post multiple social media accounts so people can see this news on whatever platform(s) they use.
Wait, I just instituted usage quotas, you'll have to give me $8 and your credit card, too.
It would be one thing if they could only use one channel. If they could only choose one, that would be email, which every GitHub user has.
They could use email, as well as status.github.com, their blog (which also has an RSS feed https://github.blog/feed/), and post it on their otherwise active BlueSky (which, unlike X, does not require an account to see their posts).
The main non-political issue with X is that those without an account (or who are unable to login) may not be able to access it, which isn't ideal for a backup communications channel. Best of both worlds is to set up mirroring where you post to bluesky and automatically post a copy to X.
