> The main issue with using ActivityPub for decentralized git forges boils down to email simply being a better choice. The advantages of email are numerous. It’s already standardized and has countless open source implementations, many in the standard libraries of almost every programming language. It’s decentralized and federated, and it’s already integrated with git. Has been since day one! I don’t think that we should replace web forges with our email clients, not at all. Instead, web forges should embrace email to communicate with each other. This is true. But the problem they’re solving is that email as a protocol is great, but the UX of most standard mail clients is trash. Especially for mobile. Consuming the protocol and providing a better UX will incentivize people to switch.
