Decentralize open source software collaboration #5

Open
@make-github-pseudonymous-again

Description

Currently all our eggs are in the same basket, and that basket is owned by MegaHARD...
See https://github.com/taotetek/WhyILeftGithub

Moving to self-hosted solutions is not a good idea unless federation is enabled.

See for instance https://discourse.gitea.io/t/forgefed-federation-in-gitea/1157

Although federation has problems... Among those that are really bad for open source software:

  • Single point of failure 1: The corruption of only a small number of people is sufficient to censor content.
  • Single point of failure 2: Scale and uptime guarantees can only be achieved through complicated manually setup load balancing solutions.
