I liked the description, but do we really need blockchain bs for that? Git by itself is decentralized, and peer-to-peer technologies existed long before too.

- Zambyte 3y agoAccording to the article: > Radicle does not use any blockchain or cryptocurrency technology. Which is also my experience from playing around with it recently. > Git by itself is decentralized This is true, but people very rarely lean into that. I personally run my own cgit for all of my public repositories, and I have collaborated with people who run their own git servers by managing multiple remotes - fetching from their remote and pushing to mine to share. I've also collaborated on projects that use email-based workflows. This works really well, but it also requires us to have the infrastructure to do that. Radicle reduces that infrastructure requirement to running a daemon on your desktop (as is common with p2p technologies).
