That's a really aggressive outlook.  SourceHut has a great track record.
In fact, check out GitLab's status page [0], look through the incident
history, and compare that with that of SourceHut [1].  SourceHut,
although technically in alpha, is extremely reliable and has multiple
layers of redundancy [2], and has a complete public operations manual
[3] documenting how carefully the instance is maintained.  I suggest you
check it out before making rash assumptions like this.

It's not great, I agree, but you don't have to set up one - just use
<https://sr.ht>.  As I've explained above, it's extremely
well-maintained.
