Why am I leaving Github?

What will happen to this project?

Most likely, it will go with me, and likely end up mirrored on multiple other platforms the way the one true sky-wizard 🧙 intended. I am interested in seeing how other people feel about this idea. I someone wants to keep maintaining it on Github, then it might result in a fork unless we can get federation working well.

Please read "why" before answering the poll.

Rather than list each combination of potential mirrors as a poll entry, you can only pick your first choice / favorite.

Regarding Fragmentation & Federation

Hopefully it will be resolved by federation, which is to source forges (like Github) what git was to version control (i.e. makes it distributed, at least in theory).

It looks like Gitea, Codeberg and Hostea will join the fediverse soon, within a year, and there are projects that will integrate Github with the fediverse as well (i.e. federate Github commits, PRs, issues, etc).
