 quick look appears to be focused on self-hosting? magic of github is that it’s where everyone comes together to build software. does this have a global hub nature?

 They do a small hub yes, but it's mainly for self hosting, gitlab is more a dual system, but I get a lot of spam from them

There is also codeberg

gitea is working on federation too

I dont think github, owned by microsoft, are likely to give up their user base.

 Oh yeah, I don’t expect GitHub to give up their user base. But if there’s a credible alternative hub-like way to gather around projects then people can choose to us an alternative system when it suits them. Especially useful in cases where they’re working on riskier projects. I don’t know microsoft/github’s history of censoring repositories, but I’d rather bitcoin’s source code not be dependent on their choices.
