I think they would be more moderate if more moderate people would have opportunity to participate. Right now all of the non left instances or communities get too quickly defederated and deleted, so moderate people who would normally participate dont want to create na account on a completely defederated instance. The only thing you are left of there are some crazies.

The only way I heard of conservative communities here is from a post that is asking for defederation or deletion

Because it’s an open Instruction Set Architecture.

Many different companies used to design their own CPU IS architectures in the past like (MIPS, AVR, PIC, …) and of course the most popular ARM. Downside of this is that the software and ecosystems between these architectures are not compatible. Effort wasted in porting a library to one architecture cannot be always reused for another.

Recently we see a lot of companies adopting RiscV, and there is a big collaboration between them to ratify the specification and provide software support. This will in turn accelerate the development, and software and hardware support will hopefully overtake ARM in the future.

Sure, but some countries are more neutral, hosting in Switzerland would be for sure better, while USA is probably the worst choice.

And you wouldn’t need to worry about it if you could host your own server and be able to communicate with other servers, like Lemmy is doing, you get the best of both worlds

They had to do it, but this is the downside using a git server hosted in non neutral country. You never know when USA will decide to impose sanctions on a country for whatever reason.

It is one of the reasons many European companies do not use Github, as it is USA based.

Yes they did:

• GitHub suspends accounts of Russian developers linked to sanctioned firms
• GitHub confirms it has blocked developers in Iran, Syria and Crimea

Well not really, you would need an account in the organization in order to create issues, pull requests for a privately hosted instance. You can see the public repository but apart from cloning you cannot do anything else.

While Gitlab.com is centrally hosted, not much different than Github, you still cannot communicate with other Gitlab hosted servers.

Thanks. There is also a Gitlab issue requesting this feature, which I am tracking.

It needs to reach a polished state before organizations and university adapt it. So something like what you linked probably wont fly.

Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability. My organization hosts Gitlab instance but I would still rather host my open source project on Github instead, because its impossible to collaborate on Gitlab with external users who dont have an account on our instance.

Once there is a federation feature similar to Lemmy, I would be happy to host everything there.

What an insightful post, thank you @ivanafterall@kbin.social. I used your advice this morning while saving a dead cat from drowning in a puddle while I was going to work.
