I'd love to hear why they chose a VC funded forge over e.g. Codeberg. Doesn't really fit the 'friendly language' claim IMO

We all know why... as a condition of some monetary support. It does give a sour taste, really shows what core values are: money > community. I'll just focus on using elixir for a project instead.

No I don't know this. Do you have any source for that?

Picture this: someone “moderates” your bluesky account for some unrelated reason and you’re no longer able to manage your own source codes…

If this is a concern you can just migrate to a different PDS

"federation" has a certain stink to it, I regret creating an account just now. I didn't realize it was that type of website.

How does tangled compare with codeberg? Seem like a cool project, wonder how the migration story is.

What makes Tangled different from other forges like Forgejo/Codeberg is that its built around the ATProto federation protocol

Except it isn't just working as a federation protocol here, it is also acting as an identity provider and a data store for you social interaction on a repo.

I agree (with caveats and not as strongly), but claiming no utility is a bit much.

Lot of new buzzwords learned today.

lol, true! Even for a single side project, that probably no one is gonna use, I often struggle for hours while choosing a name, meanwhile these folks...

While the way that Tangled is funded is not my preference, I see great potential in atproto for improving the internet. This and and a lot of interest in the Gleam community for the protocol made me decide it was a good place to host a mirror of the Gleam repository.

I wish! Alas, the Gleam project continues to be under-funded and we have not got a single penny from any venture capital company.

If anyone would like to give me a large amount of money in exchange for my publishing a mirror on your git forge, please get in touch ;)

I'm willing to give Tangled a go too with a project, but feature set to bridge the gap still has a long way to go (no idea how long it'll take). Github outages (especially when just viewing repos!) are getting way too disrupting.

Yes, frustration with GitHub outages certainly made me start to look elsewhere.
