Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source (lemmy.today)

Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

Regarding Codeberg:

  • Codeberg only services free and open source projects
  • There are other limitatiosns:
    • They don't provide a free, well designed and isolated CI like GitHub does
    • The space of Packages/Registry is limited
  • As it's quite niche there are a lot less people on that platform in general
  • Although GitHub is under fire for their uptime: The uptime of Codeberg is quite comparable to GitHub, when having a look at the functionality that both platforms have in common.

Regarding self-hosting:

  • Too expensive / time intensive for most devs that just want to code

    are you using all those qualifiers for the CI together, or separately? Because they absolutely have free CI
