       I gave up github. Now my stuff is hosted on  https://codeberg.org/fourier54 repositories migrated successfully.I was a loyal github user from 2011; even have some original merch like beer cups. Been the person advertising github usage to my conservative self-hosting-svn-using friends.But now it's time. It was mostly about ethics, but additionally 4 things kept me from migration1) Simple and efficient minimalistic interface2) Users and community3) Unavailability of alternatives4) Time to migrate all my repos1 - disappeared, interface is more and more bloated and require me to upgrade browser (sic!) to continue access their web site. More and more features useless to me added, and no way to strip down that shit;2 - Users and community - I will still keep my account to eventual contribution to projects hosted on github, but Im not an active contributor anyway;  as for users of my projects hope they would share my values and understand the decision;3 - Codeberg started to be a host for some of the projects I follow and is ticking all checkboxes;4 - It took me 3 hours in 1 evening to migrate all 54 repos due to necessity to manually click stuff on both github and codeberg; updating readme on github to point to the new location of projects and archiving repositories. The link helped me to migrate is https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/I've seen someone on mastodon posting this link; don't remember who but thank you.#github #codeberg
