  Centralized has advantages for normal users who want to report bugs.

  I remember when people started migrating to GitHub from Google Code. Most users have some Google account that they could use to report bugs. But GitHub was new.

  For a long time I tried reaching developers by mail, but this wasn’t possible anymore. I had to create a GitHub account.

        I’d say that discord is more harmful than github as information goes there to die. It’s a waste of everyone’s time: people helping need to repeat the same things all the time, and people seeking help can’t find shit.

      People at work send me bug reports by email, teams chat, taking to me (the worst because I forgot about them instantly) and the crappy corporate social network thing that Microsoft pushed on us. Very occasionally they will use the actual ticketing system, but only by accident.

    Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.

    Decentralized identity management / verification is still the biggest unsolved problem of the fediverse, and inherently pressures things towards centralization.
