Every time Github goes down, a few more people move to ethical alternatives and reduce the FOSS community having a SPOF in Microsoft.

While I appreciate the sentiment... there was something nice about the social aspects of many/most projects being on GitHub in terms of collaboration. I think there is starting to be a lot of friction for many reasons. I've been seeing more use of issues as spam, not to mention even more nefarious activities making rounds.
Corpos tend to be on Github, where community focused projects are very rapidly shifting to codeberg, which is fully open source and also has commit signing integration that actually works.
