Programmers, can you inform me why people still use github? Its owned by Microsoft, promotes AI garbage, and that alone kind of makes it shitty as a place to host open source stuff in my book. As a simple plebian, am I missing something? I don't code, so does it offer something that other platforms don't?

@cloudskater I recently migrated my few projects from Codeberg to GitHub. Codeberg (and others) just aren't used nearly as much as GitHub, so you get a better (potential) audience from the latter. Since I was still using GH to contribute to projects that are hosted there, consolidating everything there was another factor.
