    No, I would prefer a world where not everything is concentrated on github, but that is the world we have to work with:-)

    Then how do you not see the point of a distributed sourceforge?

    But how does this address any of the problems you brought up?

    Have you read the webpage? radicle is opensource, it’s distributed and thus many interconnected islands, just like the fediverse. Why are you on the fediverse and not on reddit?

    Do you think a project will be more discoverable when you say: “Clone foo/bar from github” or when you say “install this strange crypto-BS, then clone rad:xyhdhsjsjshhhfuejthhh just like you normally would”?

    Again, have you even opened the webpage?

    Sorry, this is just yet another crypto-bro solution in search of a problem.

    So github is not a problem? And regarding crypto, show me where in the code it forces you to use crypto. Show me the rad command that inhibits you from doing a normal git operation by bringing up crypto.

      But this is no forge, it is just a git repo.

      Again, have you even opened the webpage?

      Yeap, I even put a repo into it. That’s why I am so certain that it is useless.

      Hosting a git repo is not a problem. Having an discoverable forge is. And this does not help with that in any way.

      So github is not a problem?

      Something can not be a solution independent of whether or not something else is another problem or not.

      And regarding crypto, show me where in the code it forces you to use crypto. Show me the rad command that inhibits you from doing a normal git operation by bringing up crypto.

      There is lots of needless crypto(graphy) going on all over the place. It is entirely useless for code hosting in a git repo.
