MODERATORS
Google "network effect"
Relatively minor for source code forges.
The reasons everyone uses GitHub:
If anyone can ever compete with that then I doubt network effects will keep people there.
Codeberg has free CI if your project has a FOSS license and a readme: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests#woodpecker-ci
They're clearly not going to be able to afford $100m/year in free CI.
Which is one of the reasons behind github's network effect.
