The lack of market understanding by the person that thought this “feature” was a good idea is staggering. There was never a world where developers would think this is a good idea.

#182I guess it's time to consider ditching GitHub. Everything that are purchased by Microsoft ware destined to be rotten.
even aside from this, their reliability has been absolutely terrible since they took it over. it's down so often we had to setup slack notifications directly to the devs to try to take some of the pressure off our ops teams. they must be migrating it to hyper-v or something. brutal.
Even aside from that, what are we doing centralizing FOSS project hosting on a closed source Microsoft platform?

#184GitLab team on other hand is unyielding, they love adding their "Closes #" in MRs and don't care about people that ask to get rid of it.
What is this referring to? Is GitLab using AI to guess which issue a merge request is meant to fix?

It was much better than the closed source SourceForge which existed before it. A lot of small projects dont have the energy to self host. Plus for small projects the barrier of entry is an issue. I recently found a typo in an error message in Garage but since they run their own Forgejo instance and OpenID never really became a thing I never created a PR.
It is first now with Codeberg there is a credible alternative. Of course large projects do not have this issue, but for small projects Github delivered a lot if value.

What are some good alternatives for closed source codebases that people have been using and enjoying?
I only ask because I already know of good alternatives for FOSS, but it's the private / work projects that keep me tethered to GH for now.

Are there any obvious successor to GitHub yet?
There are a few alternatives, but none have the critical mass of users yet.

For open source I would say Codeberg looks like the most promising. There is also SourceHut but seems like Codeberg has the mind share.
