If there is a mass exodus from GitHub / GitLab or others we people hosting our own infra need to be good about discovery, community building, community engagement and more.
We also need to figure out how to federate authn/authz. I'll skip over submitting small things if it means yet another account on yet another server run by yet another random.
Centralization isn't great but it does facilitate discovery, community and engagement.
We need to keep this at the back of our mind.
