That is true but most developers are still on Github, which hasn't been affected by enshittification yet. I also have to keep using Github because of Lemmy, so I don't want to switch back and forth between two separate platforms.

However once Gitea starts federation we definitely want to migrate Lemmy to a selfhosted instance, and probably Ibis too.

They sunset Atom to push VS code despite assurances they wouldn't.

Co-pilot slurping open source code and spitting out code without license attribution. One example of this was when it spat out Quake 2 code and comment verbatim.

Enshittification started, you just ain't ready to see it yet. MS has a track record and will continue.

2 git hosts is just 2 tabs and by the time federation happens, you've already got vendor lock in because of all the issues. I doubt migration of those will be straightforward.
