https://gnusocial.federated-networks.org/attachment/14024 https://gnusocial.federated-networks.org/attachment/14026 And yet another example for having a bigger discussion about integration of commercial services here within the #Fediverse. The reasoning? Had a look onto the profile of the creator behind #Pixelfed and there was a posting about the service write-as. But what is this service? There is even a video shared on #PeerTube about it.
After a little research including the repositories on #Github ( to be found here: https://github.com/writeas ) I had the conclusion: No server itself possible for hosting purpose, but some clients available. Therefore "Open-Source" but also "Freemium". And afterwards support for #Mastodon sharing some postings. Mixing up different approaches here. But hey: We can share, complete irrelevant which platform. #Stop-Playing-Bullshit -

@ragamuffinjim I think #Gitlab follows #Github's lead on many things. If that's how GH does it, then it isn't surprising for GL to do so. -

I'm never going to get used to #github issue trackers also being used as help forums (and not for tracking problems or issues, if you will, with the software).

@GeekDaddy Yeah, that's sad. Unfortunately the FOSS, git based code hosting platforms seem to be dragging their feet on federation.
Personally I can't wait for #Gitea or #Gogs or #Gitlab or similar to federate via #ActivityPub. Personally I feel that will be a defining moment for the #FOSS community in taking back out sovereignty from #GitHub / #Microsoft.

Because it was popular. Just like #GitHub today.

#Blender gets all their videos blocked worldwide by #YouTube. #Armory3D has their #Patreon page closed down and their backers refunded without any notice as to why. All the #FOSS projects hosted by #GitHub now have their hosting at the mercy of #Microsoft.
And this is just a few of the recent examples.
When is the #FOSS community going to learn that we need to create and run our own infrastructure as well as apps?
Support #decentralised #FOSS infrastructure! (eg #PeerTube, #tilt, #Gitea etc)

@bob Or in a #SQLite db? It isn't #git, #GitHub, or #GitLab, but #Fossil is worth a look for most projects. -

@Wolf480pl you're entitled to that opinion of course, and I have no opinion either way. But it is a metric people seem to value. Besides which, a federated replacement for #GitHub could build it better metrics for the quality and sustainability of dependencies

"Choosing proprietary tools and services for your free software project ultimately sends a message to downstream developers and users of your project that freedom of all users—developers included—is not a priority."

@geniusmusing The question to ask after #Gentoo regains control of its #Github organization (or moves entirely off that site) is whether this was a weakness in Github or in the procedures that Gentoo's developers follow. (I've heard of other projects which did not have control of their GH organizations, but they may have been some sort of split among ach project's developers.) -

What's the bet the first thing #Microsoft do when they take possession of #GitHub is remove these sentences from the Terms of Service?
"This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content or otherwise distribute or use it outside of our provision of the Service."
"The licenses you grant to us will end when you remove Your Content from our servers, unless other Users have forked it."

@nipos @funqr Macht Alles dort einen sehr eigenwilligen Eindruck. Zudem ist der Quelltext zwar auf #Github veröffentlicht worden, aber keine weiteren Anmerkung welche Basis genutzt worden ist. Offenkundig ist das ja wohl #Mastodon! Aber nun ja?

@decentralizedpeer Seems that there are more apologists at all, the author of this article is one of them. And #Microsoft just simulate a change, because they can get "money" out of it. A company with 100% proprietary products should manage an open platform? Good joke. #Github was only another centralized platform before and will be this also in the future. The only way is to leave this place once and for all. :-) -

For years, people have been putting that "fork me on #GitHub" ribbon on their project homepages. Maybe it's time to replace it with one that says "#ForkGithub", and links to a list of freedom-respecting code forges that are community-run, or capable of being self-hosted?

the single most important criteria when replacing Github
https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/the_single_most_important_criteria_when_replacing_Github/Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.
Is that data stored in a git repository?
