One benefits from the availability of alternatives and a healthy market regardless.

When I go to a vegetarian restaurant I don't demand they serve me a juicy meat burger.

We have different places with different philosophies. It is okay to be different, otherwise everything would look boringly identical.

It's a bit of an inappropriate comparison though, since restaurants are ubiquitous and reasonable GitHub alternatives are vanishingly rare. People are quite rightly more troubled when providers in a low-cardinality space become unviable.

You can literally take the exact same software that Codeberg uses, Forgejo, and stand up your own alternative with different policies, with the only real cost being operational in nature. It seems less the case that it's a "low-cardinality space", and more that people feel entitled to other people's labour under their own terms.

They may be troubled but Codeberg owes them precisely nothing

GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, SourceForge, SourceHut, and that's just from the top of my head. That's not what I call "vanishingly rare"

Only GitHub and Gitlab have a large intersection of features. You can probably choose around one from the rest of the list, if they happen to have what you need.

What is a "reasonable GitHub alternative" exactly?
