seems like they accidentally dropped their servers while they were climbing up the AGI mount

The main hole is that ATProto's data model is a bit awkward for a code forge.

Issues/PRs/comments are records owned by their authors, not by the repo. So an issue can span N users' PDSes. That's a neat model for social media, but a forge wants the repo to be the durable owner/context of its issues and history because that's where the comment/issue/etc. logically belongs.

The solution? tangled.org acts as a super advanced cache/aggregator for that. What can possibly go wrong?

GitHub being ruined after the AI hype is a shallow take imo. The root problem isn't AI, Microsoft, or Azure; It's why people keep _trusting_ centralized infra.

GitLab and Codeberg can absolutely become trash, each in their own way.

The solution isn't just "migrating off of GitHub"; it's "migrating to a platform that is unownable by design, not only hope".

And there are no good enough decentralized alternatives to GitHub yet.

Tangled.org's decentralization has serious holes. Radicle made an alien universe; a niche within a niche. Also, it's already having problems with ISPs: https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move

Couldn’t agree more. Then express yourself freely. Don't let stupid grammar limit you. Otherwise it's not your blog anymore.

And that means either:

1. They overprice their APIs to make their subscriptions look reasonable

2. They burn money with their subscriptions

Using an AI-generated GUI framework written in Zig (a lang with no safety guarantees despite being quite helpful to human devs) is a brave decision.

Zig still lacks a proper GUI framework that you can actually rely on.

Nice idea, but I'm sure a ton of things can go wrong with it. It needs extensive edge case handling in order to be usable widely.

Recycling accounts are good for the environment. Why not?

Because they will take revenge later.
