Tangled – We need a federation of forges
Against the backdrop of recent issues with GitHub, the article highlights the risks of the open-source software (OSS) ecosystem relying on a single centralized code hosting provider. It introduces Tangled, a federated system of git servers called 'knots' that enables cross-server collaboration—including pull requests, issue tracking, and social features via the Authenticated Transfer (AT) protocol—designed to help OSS break free from platform monocultures while keeping code collaboration social and accessible.
