Here and there are posts about tailwind losing its revenue stream. And then people / post authors conclude open source is lost and spread FUD.

Do you think your projects die because of LLMs?

I only have public hobby projects, I am not afraid. I also try to donate to a lot of free software that I use or like.

Github has gone downhill.

CodeBerg is really nice, has a free tier, and has guided tutorials for migration.

I moved my work out of spite for GitHub's warmongering parent company.

And then I was pleasantly surprised by how nice CodeBerg is.

Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.
