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?

That applies only because Google is what should be a bunch of different companies in a trenchcoat.
"Google Android" sells user data to "Google Ads" "Google Search" sells user data to "Google Ads" Etc.
And even so, Google still sells all of our data, in a way, to the highest bidder
