IIRC, tangled is VC funded now. I'm not a fan of that.
Steps away from megacorpotations & proprietary software are always good. Will Discord be next?
Tangled seems promising. It's open-source (not open-core), offers a free, Nix-based CI, features fast-loading pages with minimal JavaScript, and has a great UI. I hope it can replace GitHub one day.
One caveat though: it is not as easy to set up as GitLab, Forgejo, or Gitea, as you are required to use the AT Protocol. So it likely won't become as popular as GitLab for private Git hosting.

I don't know/care too much about its implementation details, I have just one question: does Tangled give me better uptime than Codeberg? They don't seem to have a "service status" page.
Tangled is meant to be decentralised, so it has federated "Knots" which allow you to run your own personal or community server, but send/receive pull requests to other Knots. I don't know if Tangled's managed Knots (i.e. the free cloud ones) have great uptime, but I've been interested in running my own Knot because the Git host I currently use has bad uptime.
