"As the ninth anniversary approaches of the last project repository I created on Github, it's been so encouraging to see more and more projects migrate away from Microsoft Github. I love seeing the rise of Codeberg, not the least because it's a democratically-run non-profit which isn't subject to the whims of the extractive arm of an unaccountable exploitative mega-corporation."

"If you're currently hosting a project on Github and you recognize the harm of Microsoft's monopoly, it's undeniable that Codeberg is your quickest and easiest offramp to an empowering and pro-user place. But at the same time, I don't see Codeberg as the be-all and end-all of Github replacements, for a couple reasons. Most obviously, putting all your eggs in one basket isn't ideal, even if it's a much better basket than the one we used to have. We shouldn't replace Github with one site at all; we need the strength and resilience that only comes with diversity1."

"But beyond that, I'm reminded me of the way that some dominant ideas can become so dominant that it becomes difficult to even imagine alternatives to them. Forgejo (the software behind Codeberg) is unapologetically a Github clone. For most people in software development, Github has been synonymous with development workflows for so long that other ways of thinking have not only languished, but have started to feel nearly inconceivable. Even for people who want very much to get away from Microsoft, the design decisions made for Github follow you around from Gitlab to Bitbucket to Codeberg/Forgejo2."

"This is a pattern you see over and over with open source alternatives to dominant systems; for a long time GNOME and KDE were just trying really hard to build the exact same thing as Windows, but without Microsoft. Mastodon is trying really hard to be Twitter without Twitter. When a company dominates the market, they capture not only their own users but even the imaginations of people actively resisting them. It usually takes a great deal of time and effort to carve out new patterns of thinking."
