The github monoculture isn't about individuals setting their own repos so much as items like submodules and issues and code depending on github. Go modules use the github url in the import statements. GH is a lot more ingrained in the community than SF ever was
- majewsky 9y agoIt's not like Go modules must be hosted on Github. You can host Go modules on any domain. Github is just where most of the community is because of network effect.

- greenleafjacob 9y agoLots of packages are increasingly hosting on their own domain (like go.uber.org/zap) and controlling the mirroring themselves.
