Everything happening with Reddit will happen with GitHub.

I'm not saying "GitHub is bad" or "don't use GitHub" -- it's a great platform and if it solves your problem, totally go ahead and use it. I'm just saying that it's a business and at some point someone is going to crunch some numbers and say "hey, these guys are popular and it would be nice if they brought in more revenue," and this is how enshittification starts.

@jacobrogers256 enshittification works there, too, because there's always a strong drive to cut costs and strong lobbying from the industry to not compete with the private sector. It just enshittifies in different ways, usually via neglect, decay, or overwhelming red tape.

@n0toose @jacobrogers256 I encourage people to toot their horn (hur-hur) in my mentions, especially if this helps promote decentralized/federated projects.

@sbb good for you, but it really starts being complicated when someone else decides they want to contribute to your projects; and things get really, really tricky when that number of people grows to thousands daily.

@KansasGrant git is not really decentralized at all -- it's distributed. If you push some changes into your clone of project.git, nobody will know about it until you tell them on some centralized platform (GitHub, mailing list, etc).
