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?

Regarding Codeberg:

  • Codeberg only services free and open source projects
  • There are other limitatiosns:
    • They don't provide a free, well designed and isolated CI like GitHub does
    • The space of Packages/Registry is limited
  • As it's quite niche there are a lot less people on that platform in general
  • Although GitHub is under fire for their uptime: The uptime of Codeberg is quite comparable to GitHub, when having a look at the functionality that both platforms have in common.

Regarding self-hosting:

  • Too expensive / time intensive for most devs that just want to code

are you using all those qualifiers for the CI together, or separately? Because they absolutely have free CI
