Can you use git without a forge? Sure. As long as you don't give a hoot about the entry barrier. But for any open source project were you want to encourage contribution you better have a nice presence on a forge.

i feel like this just keeps happening in the open source space, people go "Oh this is bloat, get rid of the bloat" and ardently insist that actually it's better to use a bare TTY, despite that just.. obviously being hilariously dumb?

Even just being able to view the source code without cloning is very valuable. A bare repo does not provide that.
