In particular, this blog post is a direct response to ~~forge-net~~ ForgeFed (formerly known as GitPub). They want to federate and decentralize git using ActivityPub, the same technology leveraged by Mastodon and PeerTube. But get this: git is already federated and decentralized!

ForgeFed is an upcomming ActivityPub extension for federated VCS collaboration. It aims to provide standard vocabulary and federated behaivour to typical project management activities like commits, issues, merge requests, and be VCS agnostic (git, darcs, subversion...).

The goal is to enable users to host repositories & projects and collaborate seemlessly with each other across distributed, seperately hosted forges, ForgeFed-compliant services, and break centralisation.
