      sourcehut is much better if you can pay

      Edit: Only repo hosters need to pay. Everything else is free.

          Considering that git doesn’t need federation, and email is the grandfather of federation, sourcehut has a working version of it this very moment.

              I’d guess because the same argument could be made for the website you’re on right now. Why use that when we could just use mailing lists instead?

              More specifically: Sure, Git is decentral at its core, but all the tooling that has been built around it, like issue tracking, is not. Suggesting to go back to email, even if some projects still use it, isn’t the way to go forward.
