OP is about Github. Have you seen the Github uptime monitor? It’s at 90% [1] for the last 90 days. I use both Codeberg and Github a lot and Github has, by far, more problems than Codeberg. Sometimes I notice slowdowns on Codeberg, but that’s it.
I stopped using GitHub a long time ago. I don't understand why gitlab isn't the default alternative?

To be fair, Github has several magnitudes higher of users running on it than Codeberg. I'm also a Codeberg user, but I don't think anyone has seen a Forgejo/Gitea instance working at the scale of Github yet.
I don't think OP was making a value judgment or anything. It's just weird to say you won't consider Codeberg because you need reliability when Codeberg's uptime is at 100% and Github's is at 90%.
To be fair, GitHub has several magnitudes higher of revenue to support that. Including from companies like mine who are paying them good money and get absolutely sub-par service and reliability from them. I'd be happy for Codeberg to take my money for a better service on the core feature set (git hosting, PRs, issues). I can take my CI/CD elsewhere, we self-host runners anyway.
I think the idea is that a Forgejo/Gitea instance should never have to work at anywhere near the scale of GitHub. Codeberg provides its Forgejo host as a convenience/community thing but it's not being built to be a central service.
