> Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people

Step 1.) Stay on GitHub

I think the internet has "GitHub Derangement Syndrome" right now. It's an outlet for people's frustration.

The current trend reminds me a lot of the couple years we had where Game Developers were that outlet. They needed to "Wake up" and not "Go woke, go broke". An incredible amount of online discourse around gaming was hijacked by toxic negativity.

I'm sure every individual has their really good logical reasons, but zooming out I think there is definitely a similar social pathology at play.

I would argue that the open source people aren't the only ones paying attention right now.

If you are hosting proprietary code on Github, it has become clear that Microsoft is going to feed that into their AI training set. If you don't want that, you don't have a choice but to leave Github.

you just disable the setting
By the same company who admits that disabling telemetry does not in fact disable telemetry and refuse to fix it.
I take it you've never disabled Windows telemetry settings and had them magically restored after an update?

This company either does what it wants to abuse people, or is too incompetent to make their software work as instructed. Both possibilities are bad. I expect the same translates to GitHub.

...and trust naively that that does anything
Dont forget that Github also hosts projects for DHS and ICE, people have a right to be angry and leave. The “one place for code” fantasy is over.
