Baldur BjarnasonOne of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.
smxi@baldur another case of "developers making for developers" was googlecode. Then as #github grew gc got less use then spam bots started posting fake spam issues which, just like today, Google's no intelligence or understanding AI (sic) was unable to detect so they shut down what was probably the last developer oriented corporate funded source repo we'll ever see.
Then @Codeberg came along to save the day. But at cost of needing to match much of gh features.
Corps required to profit. Period.
