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?

SourceForge never updated UX, some devs still use it but indeed github won. I think federated social interaction will win at some point. Git is distributed itself, but user accounts, follows, notifications, etc. would benefit of federation. Forgejo might make it sooner or later .
