Key word being "think". OP is saying his personal biased opinion.

  Well, yeah, and I'm questioning why OP would "think" that. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make it reasonable.

    So you think it's more reasonable to assume most of the migrating projects didn't mirror, but deleted themselves from Github with only a few days warning? That (IMHO) would point even more to it mainly being small, mostly 1-person projects where there's no community to consider.

      No, what I think is that you just added some context to another person's comment. The top level comment is: >It's interesting to hear this. If you were on HN the past week, it might have seemed from all the front page articles that GitHub was about to implode due to an an exodus to Gitlab. and the-dude said: >I think most people mirrored instead of closing. Spin. You changed that to >I think most people (who migrated away from GitHub) mirrored instead of closing. Spin. Maybe that's what the-dude meant, I don't know. The implication is also that a significant number of users migrated and mirrored, and we have no idea if that's the case. That is my point. You can assume that many who migrated would have mirrored, that's reasonable, but it's not reasonable to assume that a significant number of people are migrating away from GH due to the acquisition, which is absolutely what the-dude was implying. I can see the source of confusion though; I did quote the "most people" bit and didn't touch specifically on the above until just now.

        yes, then we did read the-dude's comment differently, I took him as only talking about the moving repositories, as e.g. reported by gitlab's importer numbers.
