Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

How moving to other source control systems would help? People can still generate code via LLMs and submit changes for review

Microslop has an editor in Github that makes it dead easy to create PRs with Copilot. It's very low friction. On another platform, you have to download the editor first and install some agentic coding plugin (or download an agentic editor) and pay for it to get started. Much more friction.

Less popular, less traffic - double edged sword.

Makes sense, wouldn't call being less popular a true con if all you care it's indexed for search and is accessible
