Github is free and decentralization isn't.

  The whole point of the submission here is that that's no longer true?

    Sure, you can mooch off their centralized server for a while. In an actually decentralized network there have to be multiple servers which cost money to run and that money is never recouped.

      Tangled & other folks run their own AppServers for doing Tangled views of the network. Those aren't insanely expensive by any measure. Many of the people on Tangled especially host their own Personal Data Service themself. It's fantastically cheap. This seems like you either don't know much or you are super super cheapening out on credit. Fear uncertainty & Doubt is a low motive.

        It'd be great if you share concrete details: this type of machine on this type of connection, costing X. And what traffic and load does that see?

      After learning about ActivityPub and ATProto, people that talk about them literally cannot agree on what decentralized means.
