I see those things as a big issue. I hate it that github is a monopoly, that open source software projects rely on proprietary software for their infra and that we all depend on Microsoft of all companies for our open source activity.

I personally don't want to participate in helping MS maintain this monopoly.

Hopefully with these developments around forge federation, the "having to create an account is too big of a friction" thing will be less of an issue.

In the meantime, Forgejo already allows login in with open id providers, in many case you are already able to login with your github account.
