I see many repos moving to codeberg or other gits and many posts recommending to do so. Why is that? I've been a bit out of the loop

Microsoft owning github was already enough of a reason, people just somehow managed to ignore that very good reason for the past 8 years. Glad they are waking up now. Microsoft is a cancer sucking life out of everything it touches.

It's better than nothing, but it's a soft fork, which means MS is still steering the ship.

Especially since they control the extension ecosystem and marketplace, which to my knowledge can not be fully integrated into vscodium for some extensions.
