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
the beauty of atproto means that you are in no way tied to the VC funded company behind the web app available at tangled.org. you merely publish your git repository using a protocol that this app will pick up and present with a nice UI
any other app that speaks atproto and looks at those same sh.tangled.* records will be able to access everything in the same way
and even the git repository itself doesn't need to be hosted by tangled the company, you can host your repository yourself. all you need is a server that can speak git, ssh, http and websocket
Picture this: someone “moderates” your bluesky account for some unrelated reason and you’re no longer able to manage your own source codes…

Wow I had no idea, thank you for your well-reasoned critique! I can tell you're very capable of evaluating the merits of complex socio-technological systems. Your wisdom is unparalleled; now I see we all should just keep using X and GitHub.
I have no idea what Gleam or Tangled is, so for me this headline might as well be an article from The Onion satirizing HN. I also refuse to believe any of these two things are large enough, like say Postgres, that one can claim everyone should know it. Surely writing an informative headline for ”hackers in general” can’t be that difficult.
Gleam has had many dozens of front page posts here.
Tangled is a niche GitHub alternative, but has also had previous history.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They're still on GitHub. This isn't any sort of official transition. It's just now also on this other ATProto-based forge.
So I assume you know that tangled being ATProto-based was the reason for going there? And please explain how it's not a choice when they are still on GitHub.
They mirrored their repo somewhere else. An additional location does not make it less friendly.

this is like complaining that you can't login anywhere because google banned your gmail account...

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