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
