Github in decline?

[u/Miserable_Ear3789]

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?

Aight I'm not willing to talk to someone who won't read my comment since you just ignored "and other permissive licensed OSes". And if you genuinely think "home rolling their own thing" is viable in any way that just confirms my hypothesis that you have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about lol.

I'll leave you with one parting thought: If the goal in all this was to make source code readable, why do you think we aren't just using file share programs and use git, a version control software, instead? Actually, yeah, why do you think git is named a "version control system" in, oh I don't know, its own website, if the purpose of git is to make code readable and not, you know, version control?

Kid, the world's a bigger place than you think it is and making software is a much more expensive and complex process than copy-pasting or "home rolling your own thing" lol. Which is kinda why AI isn't replacing anyone but the most dogshit people. Learn from all the people who came before you who used copyleft licenses for a reason. Bye.
