Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.

It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?

Federated forges can't come soon enough. Git is already federated. There is absolutely not fucking reason for this.

New to me. Do you mean decentralized instead of federated?

Distributed version control system

I would not say that distributed is federated. But i could not find a widely accepted definition of it.

For example i would call FTP also not federated🤷‍♂️

Agreed. That said, with a few remotes and a cron job git could facilitate "duct tape and zip ties" federation.
