According to Tao Bojlén's analysis, GitHub's reliability crisis and explosive AI-driven growth are pushing developers elsewhere. While alternatives like Forgejo exist, they risk fragmentation—losing GitHub's seamless integrations. Bojlén proposes a better path: Tangled, a Git forge built on AT Protocol, an open interoperable standard. The innovation is subtle but powerful: your repositories live on servers you control, but the Tangled platform aggregates everything into one searchable interface. If Tangled's creators drift, the community can fork the entire ecosystem without breaking compatibility. It's alpha-stage software, but the philosophy matters—infrastructure that resists lock-in rather than enabling it.
