I don’t get it. What’s wrong with radicle.xyz? Or running your own gitlab instance… I mean really what horrible thing has msft done in running GitHub? Sure OpenAI used all the code to train data sets… you have to pay for private repos… it’s owned my msft and the main GitHub code isn’t open source….

The reason I ask is we’ve had git-ssb for 6 years and it’s a novelty… as far as I can tell radicle doesn’t get a ton of use… some folks use gitlab and even self hosted gitlab… but it’s all based on git which is itself a local first decentralized protocol.

fWhy is this needed?

Github has sanctioned developers in various countries, see article below. Also  Github has forced renaming of usernames if not politically correct; i know its happened to at least 1 Russian. With Msft controlling github.com, its become political.
