Gregory's ServerFound via the #Sourcehut mailing list. While I'll still be sticking to Sourcehut because of its friendliness to low-end machines, I think this is still worth reading.
Reminds me of some threads on the #Guix lists.

@csepp I think I agree on a lot of the author's points, but disagree on some of the conclusions. The big one being that politics are wholly separate from individual action and there's some, what I read as, governmental solution to GitHub. Microsoft maybe, but GitHub was pushing towards a monoculture long before MS bought them. Can't fault the author, though. There's only so much time in the day and you need to pick your battles. |
@csepp i think it's quite misguided. Codeberg is easily visible enough and well used, and particular projects draw their own contributors, as is clear with mastodon.el but also many other similar projects (emacs and otherwise). Codeberg also has good seo or whatever so projects are easy to find from a search. He doens't really seem to have considered it, to my mind. I think the whole emacs and free/diy community should really leave the gh hellscape, otherwise you're just making "free" software for Uncle Sam.
