I see many repos moving to codeberg or other gits and many posts recommending to do so. Why is that? I’ve been a bit out of the loop

      Microsoft owning github was already enough of a reason, people just somehow managed to ignore that very good reason for the past 8 years. Glad they are waking up now. Microsoft is a cancer sucking life out of everything it touches.

      The recent relentless AI-ification is another pain-point. People are getting sick of having to constantly fend off slob pull requests.

        What does Microsoft have to do with that? You can make the same AI PRs anywhere you want.

          They do offer their “Copilot Workspaces”, where you can basically tell a chatbot to make changes to a GitHub repo and directly open a pull request, without having to check out the repo or install the language tooling.
          This might sound good, but we’re talking you get PRs which don’t even compile. Where you spend more time sighting the PR for malicious code before you send it off to CI/CD than they did copy-pasting the issue text into a chatbox.

          And I would attribute it to individual stupidity, if this wasn’t exactly how Microsoft’s ad video presents it. You’ll inevitably get young coders who believe it, because the magical chatbot is really good at solving their homework.

          MS is well known for their backing of AI. They will not be putting any efforts into preventing it. On the contrary they are forcing it into every feature of every product including GitHub. So yeah those PRs can happen everywhere, but here they are encouraged heavily more and more as time goes on instead of mitigated, repressed, or even optionally controlled.
