As soon as GitHub starts rolling ads into my git workflow, I'll turn this computer off forever.
Until there's a federated replacement? Nope.
@fribbledom @pfm There's been attempts like https://sourcehut.org/ where it uses email for managing issues, mailing lists for discussions and pull requests and the like. email is kind of federation I suppose. Saying "I don't want to leave this unfederated problematic platform for another less-problematic unfederated platform" seem like a weird take to me, though I'm probably missing something.
I guess email is federated, yes, but it's really not the UX I'm looking for when working on issues & PRs.
While I do run my own gitea instance for some things, switching to another unfederated platform seems futile to me. The only thing that would achieve is forcing users & contributors of my software to sign up for yet another account to participate.
@fribbledom @pfm Ah, I get you, thanks for the clarification.

Although I consider it to not really be applicable here (drive-by contributions go against its grain; also, doesn't solve the "yet another account" problem)
