None of the solutions mentioned are decentralized. Git is decentralized but those services are not, even if self hosted. There are very early projects like codeonchain.network/ and others starting out that are.
Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a nerd. I like tech and gadgets and speculative fiction, and playing around with programming. It's not my day job, but I'm working on making it a side gig :)
Different instances of X can replicate between each other, so you're not siloing your development, and by decentralisation I was referring more to the fact that not all open source development has to happen on a single platform.
It's OK if some projects are on GitLab, some on Gitea, and others on Sourcehut.
True decentralisation can be a worthwhile goal down the road, but right now we can solve the problem using the tools we already have.

Then we agree 😄
