Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.
It's time to decide.
Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?
Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?
This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.
Please Boost.
@Blort In the long run I think it would be cool to have something like a federated Git repository frontend, so that you can submit "pull requests" in the Fediverse.
I'm an absolute nweb when it comes to Federation protocols. I can setup a Mastodon instance if I have to, but that's about it. But I wonder how hard it would be to come up with the protocol requirements and implement it on top of – say – Gitea (or Gogs) or GitLab.
@datenwolf Good question! It's high time we found out...
