Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)

uninformed comment

That's fine in and of itself, but, personally, I could never bring myself to use a forge which isn't fully featured and easy to use.

spoiler ~~(rant)~~ Sourcehut is just so counterintuitive to me and I shrug every time I see a project actually using it, I feel like many wouldn't even consider making contributions unless they were very motivated. To the average person, it just looks like an unwelcoming experience, especially for the email centric focus, like, why should I switch to another application just to open an issue? At least integrate it with the the web UI, like idk, make it a specialized email client for the platform, so I don't have to juggle multiple things.

Don't get me wrong tho, it's the closest we have to the bare git workflow of the "before times" with a bit more accessibility on top, it's not bad, but in a way these new web forges have spoiled us devs into relying on cohesive web services which happen to have vendor lock-in, but that can change and it is slowly doing so :::

edit: deleted for inaccurate info, don't consider my dumb rant O.o

I found it unfamiliar in the few times I saw it, but maybe it's worth giving a try
