I've noticed that several projects on the front page today (and over the past few days) are migrating away from GitHub. Is there any recent event or broader trend that explains this shift?
Everything else not important to them.

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1219 Not true anymore.
From the current Terms of Service: Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal discussions or hiding projects from the public until they're ready for usage and/or contribution. They are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage. So the ToS…
Are there any alternatives to Github that offer similar bang for the buck? Particularly for very small teams or solo devs that need private repos? The author here specifically mentions Codeberg, which seems like it's just for FOSS projects.
Note that private repos are supported on Codeberg. (I would link to one of mine, but you'd just see a 404 :P)

You're right, and after thinking about it a bit more, I think this TOS is actually more confusing than what came before. Saying explicitly that, e.g. MIT licensed software was allowed (because that license is approved by OSI), makes it unambiguous. This feels like if someone complained or had too many repos they're liable to get nuked from orbit. That being said Forgejo is FLOSS and this service is hosted for free so…

Does Codeberg provide free CI runners? I'd estimate Microsoft spends over $100m/year on free Github CI. Likely their biggest cost. It doesn't seem like a reasonable thing Codeberg to fund for free.

Honestly I think the mention of environmental costs has likely made users hesitant to sign up. Mentioning it costs real money is reasonable. Mentioning the environmental costs is not; the environmental harm is equivalent to the population buying a few dozen extra cars, which can easily be influenced by random marketing decisions by automakers and dealers.
In my experience reprimanding tech savvy people for the environmental costs of compute just doesn’t work. It’s far better to rephrase things into performance optimization problems, which naturally pique engineers’ interest.

The point of GitHub is not technical - the website is terrible. It's the social network.
It does break and go down; and GHA are a real pain in the ass. But the basic hosting and PR workflow are fine.

I like sourcehut. It's the only forge out there that isn't set out to copy the Github UI like everyone else. And its UI itself feels instantaneous, as if it was running locally.
