      Maintaining another account is maintaining another account.

      It absolutely is meaningful friction, and it absolutely is a perfectly valid reason not to engage.

      That’s not the point. The biggest project that currently is on codeberg is forgejo with about 1000 stars. The biggest project that currently is on github is freeCodeCamp with 383000 stars.
      You see the difference? If a dev only pushes to codeberg, they have basically no way of being discovered, because there is no one to discover them.

      I think I should add that I am a supporting member of Codeberg e.V.
