    Self hosting for your own needs is great but you won’t get the “drive by” contributions you get from shared platforms. On GitHub, Gitlab, and Codeberg, if I even see as little as a typo in the readme file, I open a pull request. I will not sign up on a hundred different git hosters for stuff like that.

        Huh. Gitlab just said it’s too hard with their cut staffing numbers and they’re not doing federation.

          …git is federated. i’m assuming they’re talking about things like issues and runners, but i don’t think that’s really necessary…

            Gitlab just said

            …git is federated

            If you read it again, you may find I said gitlab and not just git.

            And we won’t talk about how git’s decentralization is nothing like the concept of federation as it’s being used in this entire discussion.
