Just to be clear: I find at proto pretty cool, and I like the fact that I could actually migrate server without losing anything (I think?). I couldn't do that with ActivityPub.
And I am using alternatives to GitHub like SourceHut and Codeberg (and I will try Tangled).
I was just saying that federated systems don't necessarily federate well with each other.
Email is federated, and XMPP is federated, but it's not exactly nice to communicate on XMPP via email. Or between Matrix and XMPP, etc.
But of course I would be happier if Tangled (or something else federated) was the default instead of GitHub. Now to be pragmatic, a big advantage of GitHub is that open source projects get free CI runners (including macOS), and it's hard to compete with that.
