I could write a big nuanced blog post.. if it was something I actually had a stake in.
The #Codeberg and #Sourcehut outages are shining examples of why "decentralization" isn't just for code.
Git itself is decentralized.
Very generally, both of these services are just an easier way to manage code collaboration than patch emails on a mailing list.
If you can't collaborate with the same fidelity without the central lynchpin of a given server, you've decentralized source code. Not development.
