Currently Zig is the second most "stared" project on Codeberg (1443 stars). The first one is forgejo/forgejo (3154 stars) which is powering Codeberg, and the third one is dnkl/foot terminal emulator (1434). (see https://codeberg.org/explore/repos?q=&only_show_relevant=tru...)

It's always interesting to see big and significant projects moving away from major commercial platforms. Could it be a sign of something new on the horizon?

I mean, just disable the AI bloat features in GitHub. I’ve been using GitHub since 2010 (15 years - holy shit I am old) and it’s still the best. I never understood the mass complaining, though I give GitLab credit for building a massive company and taking it public. When GitLab launched I was like, this is going to fail as a business 100%. I was wrong.

Edit: Funny enough GitLab is down 9% in pre-market and near all-time lows.

The issue with Github is that they never denied feeding ai with private repositories. Gitlab, on the contrary, issued an official statement that they don't.

EDIT: here is one statement from Gitlab https://forum.gitlab.com/t/can-i-opt-out-from-my-code-being-...
