ForgeFed nails the current dilemma in open source:

> Without federation, we end up having to choose between:
>
> * Centralizing into huge profit-oriented websites, where we're powerless
> * Hosting our code on a small website where we're in control and freedom but isolated from the community

This is a critically important project.

And of course I have to learn of #ForgeFed @forgefed today. 😅 An extension to #ActivityPub. Capturing the collaborative nature of source forges.

The reason #github has kept its mountain 🗻 market share is its social network. The only true way to fight centralization is by joining our abilities as a collective. Through choice and breadth of interconnected forges we hold strength. An actual #DVCS.

#Github is in the heart of Software Development. Countless vendors see 'Github support' as essential. GH has cemented its position as dominant player.

#Fediverse can change all that. With @forgefed working on specs and #Gitea #ForgeFriends and #ForgeFlux projects coding federation support.

The entire ecosystem can be opened and democratized!

But are #ForgeFed "code forge" specs sliced right? Or should we crowdsource specs for the "Free Software Development Lifecycle"?
