I am always highly skeptical of these applications that use git to store non-code data. Often many of the key features of git aren't applicable to other problem spaces and this makes everything less efficient. There is a big exception here. You sign commits, so each update comes with some proof of the identity of the author. I like how simple this is, and generally prefer it over the way Mastodon and other federated services handle identity.
