Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

I can see the benefit of this kind of use case, because LLM‘s are good at summarizing large data sets. It can be a good starting point for learning about something new or rubber ducking. But, if that’s your use case, why would you even need or want an agent hooked up to your environment to allow it to commit or create PRs?

Oh I mean, I think you're right. I don't allow it to commit OR create PRs. I think that's silly; in fact I specifically instruct it NOT to do those things because I want to verify everything.
