@blacklight being a thin, simple layer over the code is precisely _why_ I consider sourcehut credible.

No stacks of JS aimed to spy on me, no insistence that this is going to be a new paradigm of "social coding", no unexportable lock-ins like in-app-only wikis.

I don't want to be the product of someone trying to force "value add" propositions for cash.

Why talk about "user engagement"? This is useful for selling ad slots. I don't need users to be "engaged" with my code host, just to use it.
