  • Not sure it matters

    Hope so

    Lol. But on a more serious note, I don’t think it’ll happen until we reach the tipping point of non-tech people getting on it. I had a friend who tried it years ago and it was all just tech nerds so he eventually fell off of it. Yes the business and personalities side of it is big too, but I don’t think it’ll happen until people are joining because their irl friends are on it

    Let’s do em all!:

    • GitHub: most mature/reliable
    • GitLab: the most popular and mature GitHub alternative. Generally seen as a more ethical alternative since it’s not owned by MS and is open-sourced, but is still criticized for it’s open-core business model
    • Bitbucket: the “third party” of the bunch that’s no better than the first
    • GitTea: the “fourth party” that’s actually cool but kinda not quite there yet. Worth keeping an eye because it’s the most likely to integrate with ActivityPub soon
    • Gogs: great, but you need to self-host. GitTea is just a community hosted fork of Gogs
    • SourceForge: wow, they’re still around?
    • Codeberg: centered around open-source projects only. Managed by a non-profit org
    • Launchpad: run by Canonical (Ubuntu), has a lot of other features/goals than just hosting code
    • GitBucket: a self-hostable GitHub clone written in Scala
    • NotABug: another “liberated” version of Gogs
    • Radicle: imo, one of the most interesting alternatives to look at. It’s unique in that it’s build on p2p technologies. Unfortunately, it seems quite coupled with many projects in the web3 space
    • Pagure: RedHat developed git forge that can be selfhosted
    • Phorge: community fork of Facebook’s internal Phabricator forge tool which was deprecated in 2011 but got a lot of things right that GitHub is often criticized for
    • Heptapod: Gitlab modified to work with Mercurial
    • Fossil: self-contained small team collaboration tool doing its own thing entirely
    • Kallithea: git and hg web frontend with code review functionality (community fork of Rhode code)
    • RhodeCode: git and hg frontend (original codebase where Kallithea forked off)
    • Sourcehut: email centric git frontend

    Would love to see other people’s one-liner blurbs on these as well

    EDIT: added additional alternatives and comments (thanks @poVoq@slrpnk.net especially)



  • Eh. Probably a good way to limit spam and commercial influence that plagues most attempts at building review sites. I think this is one of the few valid uses of the technique though I’m sure there are other routes they could’ve taken. But things like reputations and trust systems are a big engineering feat to accomplish and get right



  • I think equating “damage to property” and “damage to human (or more-than-human) lives” under the same banner of “violence” is a capitalist ploy. It’s used to discredit riots and justify police killings because “both sides” did a violence

    The violence was done over the long term. Forcing people to be reliant on exploitation of mother earth for their own survival. All that happened was a bubble popped. We should focus on who made the bubble more than who popped it

    This isn’t really accurate though. It’s pretty clear this is a proxy war for the US to weaken Russia. NATO has made major expansions in Europe at least 3 times in the past two decades and each time it’s been denounced by basically the whole world. Putin might lie to his own people but on the foreign stage he’s been completely honest the entire time. I won’t go as far as to say “he had no other choice” but I do think it’s important to highlight the fact that Biden has publicly discussed the plan to “weaken” Russia.

    Zelenskyy ran on a platform to make peace with Russia and they were literally in peace talks about to finalize a plan. It was NATO that went in and disrupted that

    I’m not trying to defend Putin by any means, but I just think the framing of “it was Russia that chose to go to war” is painting an overly simplistic picture
