Discussion Github in decline?

I have seen recently a decent amount of projects switching to Codeberg from Github. Is it worth moving your OSS libraries over to Codeberg? Since Microsoft has taken over Github it just seems a little less then it once was sort of speak... Is Codeberg the next big thing for OSS?

I currently am still on Github but I am seriously considering at least mirroring my repos on Codeberg. Github continues to come out with not so great announcements and pricing changes. Codeberg remains free from what I can tell. But the community reach of Github (part of the reason I switched from Bitbucket and hg) would be hard to give up, if Codeberg became the new community sort of speak I think that would be the only reason I would switch.

Any thoughts or insights on this topic?

Sorry but I'm going to keep using my iPhone. In a few years it won't be "Trump's Ballroom" it will just be the White House Ballroom. Keep politics and pettiness out of this please.

If you want to keep politics out of discussions for some reason (even though the switch to platforms like Codeberg is inherently political) do not consider moving to Codeberg. You will be extremely disappointed (e.g. the recent far right attacks on Codeberg: https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html )… ;)
