There could not be a more opportune time to make a competitor to GitHub, especially one grounded in community and accountability. Git was not meant to be centralized; “pull requests” are not actually an open standard and throwing code over the wall at others is not actually social coding.
@anildash you didn’t ask but Codeberg/Forgejo exist and are already an alternative, if not the fully realised decentralisation story just yet, they’ll get there ✌️
@janl @anildash I've started using Codeberg in earnest and it's legit really good. tbh the only parts that are really lacking are the CI story (Codeberg doesn't have a massive amount of free resources to burn money on), and PRs aren't federated (yet! They're actively working on it! You'll eventually be able to, say, send PRs from Codeberg forks to Gitlab upstreams!)
@zkat @janl @anildash I'm extremely looking forward to federated forgejo
