You gotta change the origin on every deployment you have. Update environment vars, reconfigure tools. You have to port all your PRs over somehow. Your issues. Your documentation. All the access keys. Etc.
Yeah, github is currently the big cheese. But other forges are still out there and are being used. And since git is an open format, the infrastructure is (a bit) more resilient towards enshittyfication.
Yet most project uses GitHub too you know…
True but GitHub wasn’t always Microsoft and at least in my experience moving between git providers is a pain
How is it a pain? You just change the origin on your existing project, and new projects you just use the new one to start with.

With Gitlab embracing activitypub, at least the issues can bei easily migrated now/soon.
Are they embracing activity pub? I read it is just one guy in the community working in it.
And the vast majority of users are on GitHub, looking for code on there. Having activity pub on other forges will not change that big time:-(
Ony saw this vid about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v68NFdZIMKI
