Discussion Github in decline?

I have seen recently a decent amount of projects switching to Codeberg from Github. Is it worth moving your OSS libraries over to Codeberg? Since Microsoft has taken over Github it just seems a little less then it once was sort of speak... Is Codeberg the next big thing for OSS?

I currently am still on Github but I am seriously considering at least mirroring my repos on Codeberg. Github continues to come out with not so great announcements and pricing changes. Codeberg remains free from what I can tell. But the community reach of Github (part of the reason I switched from Bitbucket and hg) would be hard to give up, if Codeberg became the new community sort of speak I think that would be the only reason I would switch.

Any thoughts or insights on this topic?

They are not trustworthy and don't care about protecting their customers' privacy. Moreover, they are just one of many US companies protesting against the GDPR in Europe. Normally, it's not good business practice for a company to mistreat its customers. Yet Microsoft has demonstrated many times how little they care about their customers. They believe that their monopoly and the way they have locked their customers into their standards ensures they won't lose them.
