Do you think it's good that the majority of code is hosted on a proprietary service? Do you think it's good that that service is centralised? Do you think it's good that if you want to provide an alternative to that service, you create another island with a different ecosystem that cannot communicate with the other island?

@onlinepersona @hunger have you tried hosting your own git repo? I never thought I'd live to see git, of all things, being considered "proprietary service". Also Hunger suggested using more than one server, which means it's not completely centralized.

I'm not sure if you're making a bad faith argument or genuinely didn't understand I was referencing github.

Also, where is the crypto magic? The website doesn't mention crypto at all...

The sixth point in the original comment links to the cryptocurrency association.

So there's nothing in the code about crypto then?
