> For many it isn’t easy to just up and abandon what they built on GitHub, especially if they have a big community and open issues and PRs.

it's really easy because the codeberg importer is really good

it correctly imports all your pull requests and issues, preserving usernames, everything

you then put the new URL in the GitHub description and archive the project

and then a year down the line you delete the GitHub repository entirely

I moved about 70 projects, half a dozen with several hundred stars and forks

and each major project that leaves does n^2 damage to GitHub, it's the network effect in reverse!

Why would you want to damage GitHub?
