Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source (lemmy.today)

Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

You’re not wrong.

But … it’s also been convenient and largely free for most use cases and has had a better feature set then most alternates without having to host your own.

If you could host your own Gitlab was the choice.

The reliability issues of late is what is making most people actually contemplate moving.

I've moved to Codeberg. It works well enough for me.

Gitlab is trying hard to ruin the software so beware of that.

Yeah, things have been shook hard as of late.

My organization ( a Fortune 500) is taking serious consideration into extricating from GitHub, which is going to be a huge task.

Gitlab was our obvious first choice because a few projects we have an instance of it, and it works well … but they’re trying to do the same shit.

Most of our developers are fine to just use git and many of us do that these days.

My dev box has a 100% uptime if I turn it on, and IT backs it up.
