Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

Congratulations!

Small reminder, if you don't remember from last time it was posted to all communities on lemmy, this is still a project by cryptobros:

What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?

Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.

Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

  • Instructs to pipe the output of curl in sh
  • Assumes that sh is bash [1]
  • “Community” behind it is apparently originating in Berlin, and is now a “nonprofit foundation in Switzerland”, but has no publicly disclosed legal structure anymore.
  • “Community” behind it uses discord, but not revolt, matrix, simplex or others.
  • “Community” behind it uses twitter, but not mastodon.
  • Cryptobros.

Does help combat censorship?

What about pushing out code anonymously to avoid lawsuits?

Radicle’s network of seed nodes help propagate and host code, forming a decentralized, censorship resistant, and ungovernable distribution system.

but its not anonymous i think.

git over tor or i2p may be a better solution for censorship resistance.

who is censoring code? that happen to you?

Stuff like yuzu that gets taken down for mostly bs reasons. If the EU's insane chat control law passes, you can go to jail for providing encrypted communications software. By then we might need something like this. Dark times.
