I wouldn't want to use any decentralized system for code if there's no discovery, code search, cross instance logins, AND BACKUPS.

It'd suck to end up in a situation like you see with torrents, where there are tons of references, but no access to the data.

I can imagine tons of useful code being lost over time that way.

Git is great because every clone is a backup: if you want public backups, push to multiple upstreams (or setup mirroring): e.g. sr.ht, self-hosted gitea on AWS and self-hosted gitolite on Hetzner
