GitHub seems to get more and more bad press these days and it has me wondering why people are not moving to Codeburg (or Source Hut)?

1. Free CI with GitHub Actions

2. Aesthetics

3. Network effect

Also, the security section is rather lacking. There seem to be no fine grained access controls.

8 years ago, when Microsoft bought GitHub, there was much digital ink spilled and some people/projects did leave for GitLab or elsewhere.

So one explanation would be that anybody cares already has left.
