Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

Time to go back to email lists. Anyone can come along sure. But it's only going to be the most determined.

    AI agents can trivially send email. I don't know what the solution is, other than to disallow submissions from people who already have a good reputation with the project. Even that's not a good solution, because there really isn't a way to get a reputation that is open to humans, but can't be easily gamed by bots.
