   We have no idea what the future of Github will be, so it's time to stop   
   investing on it.  I think we really need to produce software (and entire   
   systems) that we can use on a peer-to-peer basis.  Instead of Github or   
   Codeberg, I think we need to create a web of Forgejo, Gitea et cetera.   
      
   Similarly, NNTP servers and IRC servers instead of Discord et cetera.  I   
   think the best things we've done have been decentralized.  I know that   
   this grass roots things never look as shiny as the commercial ones, but   
   I'm certain that they're much better in the relevant aspects.
