Did you get anything back after Anthropic hooved up every single line of code on GitHub and reached a valuation of $380 Billion dollars? Nopes.
They'd be worth nothing without YOUR code.
Codeberg says it gives your code a "...a safe and friendly home.".. More like a free funnel of unlimited code to train AI models on.

Your code is your blood, your sweat and your tears. You should decide who sees it and who has access to it. It's your IP.
Therefore... Don't use GitHub. Don't use Codeberg. Don't use GitLab.
