    Good. The more projects that move off of github, the better. It’s a dangerous dependency-sinkhole at this point, and has been for some time. De-centralize!

      Centralized has advantages for normal users who want to report bugs.

      I remember when people started migrating to GitHub from Google Code. Most users have some Google account that they could use to report bugs. But GitHub was new.

      For a long time I tried reaching developers by mail, but this wasn’t possible anymore. I had to create a GitHub account.

        Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.
