      Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn’t makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.

        Yeah, but Nintendo hasn’t won a lawsuit, which means the code isn’t illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.

          They convinced GitHub to send takedown notices, which can be appealed. They’re legally required to do this under the DMCA.

        I think there’s a difference between distributed and decentralised. But apart from that 👍

      There’s are a few, but they’re pretty new. Codeberg / Forejo seems to be the most popular, at the moment.

        But it’s not yet federalized. I host my forgejo instance but others can’t yet create issues there.

          I’ve been kinda low key waiting for federation on Feorejo to move most of my personal projects off of GitHub. I’ve been busy anyway, so I guess, for me, it’s a race between their clever devs and my procrastinating…

            I’m so excited for it. Forgejo is by itself fully usable, but I want to be able to federate stuff.

              Me too. GitHub is a huge part of my professional portfolio. I don’t like trusting a single corporation with that much of my employment future. I saw colleagues who relied heavily of Twitter have a really bad time when it descended into bots and spam.

              Forejo seems like the logical next step to protect my professional portfolio.

                GitHub is huge for visibility, don’t underestimate it. I put everything on my git server and mirror my important projects to GitHub and codeberg.org. One of the things I’m excited about is a method of discover ability for my stuff. And if course collaboration being possible on my server, as others can’t open issues and stuff on my server.

                  Yeah. I’ll keep things on GitHub, as well. GitHub has been very good for my professional portfolio.

                  But I’m hoping to get to where my primary activity is on my own servers, and everything is mirrored to GitGub, or vice-versa. That way, if GitHub decides to hold my portfolio hostage, I can just redirect my resume link and get on with my life.

      Check out forgejo. While git is „decentralized“ it is not discoverable. Forgejo is pretty much there afaik using ap protocol.
