What ever happened to SourceForge? (lemmy.myserv.one)

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?

It was shit and GitHub is good. It's not a mystery. It's still shit compared to GitHub, you can go and look now.

There was also an incident where they started adding malware to downloads... But really it was already dead by that point.
