One thing I don't understand is why everyone is moving from #GitHub to other services like #Codeberg, #GitLab, #SourceHut, etc.

I mean GitHub just works, doesn't it?

It's annoying when dependencies or projects I use switch from GitHub to another service because it breaks building on that specific project and then I have to go fix it.

Can anyone explain what's going on? Thought about switching too, but thought it'd be too disruptive.

Microsft purchased GitHub. Therefore Github is no longer a neutral player. They are a subsidiary of a much more powerful organization that has interests and stakes in the open source community.

Microsoft will use their influence over Github to gain an unfair advantage in the computing and software space. Think about it, they have access to all your private repos and know what secret projects you are working on!
