Been switching to Codeberg because it's nice but increasingly looking like I soon will HAVE to abandon Github, because the entire interface will soon be just one giant maze where at each intersection one path leads to the feature you wanted and the other path is Copilot

Github's home page (when logged in) gave me a button that says "My open pull requests". Not only is this a scripted button that cannot be opened in a new window. The button does not lead to a page that lists your open pull requests. It activates a free Copilot plan and asks copilot: "Hi Copilot! Can you please find my open pull requests?", upon which Copilot thinks really hard and lists at least some of my open pull requests.

@mcc as a FOSS maintainer I guess the main reason to me to switch will be with my projects get flooded by AI generated false issues, which still didn't happen, but I need to look for an alternative for when that happens. I hope a platform, maybe Codeberg, gets popular: the friction of having to create an account to just report an issue can lead to issues not being reported. I had people reporting issues lazily asking things that were already documented or reported, but I also had great contributors.
