I can’t help but notice most (all I’ve seen anyway) of the federated projects are hosted on GitHub. GitLab is also federated, but can be self hosted and has at least discussed it.
I am fully aware of my bias for GitLab over GitHub, but I still wonder why is those things? Is there a federated source hosting project?
It is supporting my point btw. The internet is federated then. For example: “With my copy of a meme is a complete copy too. If Lemmy goes away it keeps working without it. And i can share it al along :)” If git(hub) is federated then is everything on the internet too.
It’s really not. In your example, the meme would be decentralized — not “the internet”. Also, I think you’re confusing “git” with services offering “git and more” such as GitHub, GitLab, etc.
Yup. Thats my point. GIT IS DECENTRALIZED NOT FEDERATED.
:D You said it yourself
Literally no one but you has used the word “federated” in his thread of comments… You responded to the original comment about git being decentralized by saying “it’s still 1 centralized server that has the code”. I corrected you, because that’s not how git works, and now I’m not sure what the fuck you’re on about…
Edit: Screenshot, in case you forget.
Sry i was wrong XD lmao. I thought you wanted to proof that git is federated
