       📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSETons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse! Yet they need HELP.

       Roughly speaking our grassroots commons faces 3 challenges..1. Tyranny of small decisions. Uncoordinated action makes it impossible to collaborate at scale2. Herding of cats. Attempts to govern fiercely independent autonomous people doomed to fail3. Tragedy of the commons. Unsustainable imbalance between value extraction and deliveryWhat ailed @forgefed for a long time is that everyone is interested for #ForgeFed to become the real deal, yet no one was working on it, no feedback.@nlnet

       The https://forgefed.org developers are extending the specs, and asking for feedback in the issue trackers on #Codeberg, but none is forthcoming.As a result large crowds root for @forgefed #forge federation to come along, but it will not happen anytime soon at the current pace.@nlnet through #NGI0 provide funding to #ForgeFed, #Vervis, #Anvil, and also #Forgejo and these people are bravely forging ahead. More community help is needed though.Same is true for #Gitlab's federation efforts.
