So I remember back in the day when Source Forge was THE place to share open source projects. What ever happened? I can’t think of a single recent project that is there. Everything is on GitHub, although I’ve also seen some things on Codeberg and GitLab recently.

Will github eventually go the same way?

    They were prevalent. Then they started with adware. Then they bundled adware without developer consent.

    Eventually they were bought with a goal of deshittyfication. So theyre fine and have good offerings, but the UI and UX is much worse than other platforms (never improved).
