So you need 3 accounts on 3 different services to achieve what radicle does. OK, let's say you use your Github account for all of them instead, now you have centralized your accounts and if you're another youtube-dl, Popcorn-Time or just happen to be unlucky enough have the nationality of a country that the USA likes to hate against, that account is gone. As for updating all those mirrors, how do you do that? `git push --all` ? `git push --mirror` ? Is git configured to so automatically? Or are you going to configure push hooks on one of those services? What about your issue/ticket and PR/MR management? Where will that be? Are you going to use an in-git solution like https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug, somehow sync everything using custom scripts or wait for https://forgefed.peers.community/ https://forgefed.peers.community/ to be finalized and implemented by all code hosts? How are you going to collaborate with others? How are you going to introduce newcomers to all these options? Do you know of a tool that solves most (or all) of those issues?

In order to keep it simple I'll just use Github, sit out their downtime and spend no time to educate users because everyone knows how to use it or can find answers in seconds. This use is the same as for other distributed services - own your data, resist censorship, increase resilience, bla bla, but in reality there's 5 cases (out of 5 million) where this mattered. This would work better without crypto and decentralization B.S. but how to compete with a service and the deep pockets of Gitlab and Github... Put simply, if you care about your project, you won't bother with this stuff because you lose users and contributors (as long as Github and Gitlab censorship is limited as it currently is). Right now your total addressable market is like 5 projects deemed illegal in the US.
