The exodus from GitHub has not begun, as far as I can tell.

They seem to care much less about free users than in the past but businesses still flock to it. GitLab is the only other platform I’ve seen in the workplace of anywhere I worked, with the exception of a big tech company I worked at. They had both GitHub enterprise and an internally maintained platform which was being phased out. if I recall correctly it based on Phabricator

I've seen a small but increasing trickle of open source projects leaving github for free(libre) alternatives lately. It's not a stampede but I'd say the exodus is on its way.

The considerations for commercial users leaving github are probably pretty different, so perhaps they'll stay.
