Discussed at HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

> The #FOSS development methodology is #GitHub's product, which they've proprietarized and repackaged with our active (if often unwitting) help

There's work to do. We have an answer and it has the #Fediverse right smack in the middle of it:

🛠️ #ForgeFederation

Read the report just published by @dachary

@humanetech @dachary I think nobody will move off of #github as long as there is no #federation support in any of the #selfhostable alternatives!

As soon as there is, I think people will start moving away. Not many, but some. Federation is a must-have, because otherwise creating accounts just for reporting a bug is just too much of a task for the average user and sometimes even for more "advanced" users. I certainly would be much happier if I could just use my own instance and create a bugreport/issue/etc on some project hosted somewhere else!

Of course, #sourcehut does already provide everything we would need. Also, Email is THE workflow with #git IMO. But I acknowledge that its just not enough for most users and they want some kind of #forge and bling-bling website like github. I do not blame them.
