hi #GitHub doesn't do anything particularly special? why be afraid of leaving it?

trending fork

the popular kids in school were awful #trend

if there's a protocol to add content that implementations should follow, there could just as well be a protocol to remove content. no, you can't guarantee that bad actors will refuse to follow the protocol. but you can have one.

I find ipfs interesting, but baked right into it, and its community, is the notion that it is permanent. nothing can, or should (depending on who you ask) , be deleted. so many people say "well you can't remove stuff from the internet, so", which is a rubbish argument.

which makes it more ideology than filesystem, in my view.

#ipfs

@shoutcacophony 😔

remember when the open source community self-centralized on one git hosting platform and then Microsoft bought it

@moritzheiber @cathal consider gitbucket https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket . large active community, regular releases for years. easy deploy for self hosting.

#GitHub lol

consider gitbucket as an alternative to #githhub https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket

it's written in scala and can be deployed as a single jar using relatively little ram.

it has many of the features github has including wiki, pages, issue tracking, pull requests, reviewing, web hooks

it has an active community with new releases once per month

it has a plugin system allowing for extensions to be added simply

it's just rebroadcasting, right? oh

scihub but for the good videos on youtube

@codewiz @rysiek @lupine @dashie visibility, I assume. I've used gitbucket for five years or so for my own projects and have been happy with it, but nobody knows where they are

@codewiz @rysiek @lupine @dashie this definitely does not have all features discussed, but if you haven't already have a look at gitbucket https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket . it's extremely easy to set up and use, and has many of github's features (so much so that github threatened them to change their ui). there's a plugin system that might be a viable way to introduce federation...
