Tell HN: We Need a Distributed GitHub

4 points by xiyueuyix ↗ HN
Although Git is a distributed version control system, GitHub controls most of the open source community. GitHub is a centralized community that is now under Microsoft's control. This is pretty bad. My GitHub account has been flagged. I can't do anything without GitHub. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34059645. So I think we need a distributed open source community that can't be controlled by anyone, like Bitcoin and other things.

Self-hosting costs are too high, and it is hard to maintain.
