Every project that leaves GritHub for good is another measurable dent in the network effects of an enshittified, proprietary platform. Now owned by one of the oldest #DataFarming corporations, who were the earliest enemies of groups working for people's software rights and freedoms.

@Codeberg have been one of the most enduring code forges who are consistently supportive of software freedom principles, and home to a wide range of fediverse-related projects. Including the repo for FEPs (Fediverse Enhancement Proposals) and our own fediverse.party.

On the subject of the ongoing enshittification of GritHub, we've been here before. From a post on my #Disintermedia blog in its early days;
"SF.net has since reimplemented its stack in Python, beginning in 2009 as a new free code project called Allura under the Apache 2.0 license, and in June 2011, a piece was posted on the SourceForge blog which finished off, 'pull up a chair, because we鈥檙e here to stay'."

"Only a year later, in June, 2012, SF.net was submitting Allura to become an Apache Foundation project, and a few months later in Sept 2012, Geeknet was selling the SourceForge platform to Dice Holdings. The proliferation of alternative code hosts, and the desperate advertising which is alleged to include inserting proprietary adware into Windows downloads of free code installers, has left the legendary SF.net a shadow of its former self."
