I just hope that, rather than centralizing entirely on Codeberg, we can use Forgejo’s ActivityPub support to eventually build a properly distributed and federated source code ecosystem around git, where users, issues, forks and PRs can flow seamlessly across different forgejo/gitea/whatever instances.
These are open source developers we’re talking about though, and it can be argued they continue to show a distinct preference for federated (email, IRC) and proactively distributed (git) systems. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what either of us think, all that matters is whether it happens or not, and time will tell. I hope it does though.
“They” who? FOSS is quite a diverse community. If anything,i’ve seen a great deal of projects that used discord as their communication platform. Linux is practically the only project that i can name from the top of my head, that uses a decentralized communication platform. The most popular FOSS alternative to github is Codeberg (that’s my impression, at least).

Ngl, i don’t believe in the success of the federated internet. It would certainly be nice, yet the idea somehow doesn’t resonate with people that much
