Damus code submissions no longer depends on github. Last 4 contributions were applied via patches@damus.io, and were rewarded 115,000 sats total.
Email allows people to contribute anonymously and without the need for a github account, which is important if their access to github is blocked for whatever reason (china, iran, etc). It’s also annoying to login to github, sending an email patch is a single command.
One day we can use nostr instead of email, once there are better email-like nostr clients, but for now this works ok.
Decentralize all the things ✌️
I never thought about restrictions on github by weird governments.
You're doing god's work bro, keep it up!

Github is just a website hosting git. Its captured by MS/govt.
I knew there was MS behind it, I never thought it could be banned for hosting free software, nor the implications. It makes sense to decentralize the fuck out of it
