@mcc related, fucking hell

@mcc I also started moving my stuff over to Codeberg. It's a pain, but I'll keep at it. I probably just need to sunset some of my 100+ repos. Like most of them.

Sadly, while Codeberg seems great now, I wouldn't bet my life that they don't eventually go down the same path. Hopefully not for a few years.

@mcc Just for fun, I used Internet Archive to pull up old versions of the GitHub web site, and found what was listed under "Product" or "Features" in the home page's nav bar, or the closest equivalent.

Aug 2015 Features (10 years ago. This set of features was a distinct web page, not a menu, and I've copied the headers or the key phrase in the feature):
Integrated issue tracking.
Collaborative code review.
Easily manage teams within organizations.
GitHub Flavored Markdown for formatting text.
Syntax highlighted code & rendered data.
On the desktop and in your pocket [i.e., available as a smartphone app as well]

So ... mostly stuff for writing code, doing version control, and collaboration. Pretty much what you might expect for a web service frontend for git.

Aug 2020 Features (5 years ago):
Code Review
Project Management
Integrations
Actions
Packages
Security
Team Management
Hosting

Ok, now they've added some useful stuff like creating entire workflows for deploying code and managing larger quantities of it. And not surprisingly, an awful lot of people adopted this as a one-stop shopping trip for all sort of DevOps-y stuff, not just hosting and maintaining git repositories.

And even as recently as Aug 2023, 2 years ago, and almost a year after ChatGPT came out:
Actions
Packages
Security
Codespaces
Copilot <--- AI shit is only 5th in the list
Code Review
Issues
Discussion

It still looks and feels a lot like 2020 in here.

But now look at August 2025, just 2 years later:
Github Copilot <-- AI shit
Github Spark <-- AI shit
Github Models <-- AI shit
Github Advanced Security <-- mostly AI shit
Actions
Codespaces
Issues
Code Review
Discussions
Code Search

Good grief. Not only is the AI shit all over the place (and dominating the top of the list), but "AI shit" is literally the only type of service to actually be *branded* with "GitHub".

@mcc I've been using codeberg, and have no regrets! I hope we get federation soon on forgejo.

I do however hope it does not get into mainstream..
