Like, I get the statistics, thing, because most devs use GitHub, and potential employers lurk there, so having more activity there raises your repo "page rank" and allows your GitHub follows to see that you've got active power users. If we move the issue activity off of GitHub, you lose that cred.

GitHub is a social network that is simply much much bigger than Nostr. Especially since most Nostriches are also on GitHub.

But this is not a problem only for current devs. It's the hurdle we face, getting anyone to move, so we should maybe fix it.

Yes. I'm hoping that use of #GitViaNostr actually becomes a positive singal to employers of a understand of open source and open protocols.

There is plenty of spam and low quality PRs and code on github. employers know this and will see through it.

I think contributors looking to work in freedom tech and open source focused communities and business would be better of using #GitViaNostr where possible.

Interesting point. Accurate, I think. Putting your code where your mouth is, so to say.
