When I built GitButler[0], I did so fully expecting that GitHub might come one day and kill it by providing a better integrated solution. That's the natural order of things, ultimately, whoever owns the platform, controls it and 3rd parties can't do much. That's also the reason I've shifted my attention more towards open platforms lately.
My point exactly! It is plain ludicrous to think that the imperialistic ambitions-driven Russian government would flood Livejournal, Twitter and Facebook just to silence that one guy. I mean, in the end, these are the same media that Russian bloggers use to state their anti-Georgian opinions.
It was either a lets-see-what-will-happen DDoS or this guy indeed orchestrated it to gain some popularity.
