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

While I don’t have much, I stopped pushing updates to my open source projects on GitHub and push them to Codeberg instead. I do this because, in my opinion, I believe Microsoft violated the license of a lot of open source software by building AI off of it. Given the current case law in the US, I doubt the courts would agree with my opinion, and obviously I’m not a legal expert. Either way, just because something is legal doesn’t make it acceptable.
This has nothing to do with the GitHub CEO removal or whatever that happened lately. This was about a year ago that I did this. GitHub has been owned by Microsoft for quite some time. Any sort of independence was merely symbolic. Besides, it’s not like they weren’t using GitHub to train AI for Copilot before the GitHub CEO left.
