It is probably more correct to say a bunch of Redis contributors left the Redis GitHub project and moved over to Valkey.
You can see there are a bunch of contributors listed on this page who seem to predate the fork and who have continued to contribute:
https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/graphs/contributors https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/graphs/contributors
Particularly these contributors standout:

- bhouston 2y ago> Nearly all of them work at cloud providers so they literally just followed their income stream. Sure. And same for Redis employees who continue to work on the Redis Github project. All my significant contributions to open source have had financial incentives as well.
- reconditerose 2y agoI know this doesn't mean much, but I spent a lot of time outside of work helping to maintain the Redis codebase. I attended our meetings and responded to issues on vacation because I cared about the community, it was more than just a paycheck for me. I don't regret doing any of that.
