   @dansup why GitHub though?

     @dansup ooh I was hoping for something like this! I prefer other languages but have come to the understanding that PHP is good when you want something that anyone can easily deploy anywhere (even without a full-blown VPS)

     @dansup that's fair, but let me rephrase: GitHub is a centralised platform controlled by a single entity, and we do have decentralised (soon-to-be-)federated alternatives like #Forgejo. Any reason you haven't decided to switch over?

     (I assume you've thought about this before)

     @dansup makes sense I guess given how much energy you're already putting into everything. I usually avoid pulling from GitHub, but I'll make an exception in this case (I'd have volunteered to help with mirrors but have too many other commitments at the moment)

     What GitHub features do you use besides the basic ones (pull requests, issues, wiki)? In case y'know something becomes stable enough later. I wonder if in future it'd help to have a common forge for any/all ActivityPub projects :fedi:
