Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’. Smart move by #GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer. @[email protected] #fediverse #GitHub #git

    Github is pretty annoying nowadays - and pretty much the only reason I haven’t left for my own stuff is because going to a different platform will probably see me in the same situation in a few years again.

    I still have my self hosted git instances around, and everything is pushed to there plus github - but github is where issues get created and pull requests come in as obviously nobody wants to make yet another account. That might be able to solve just that.
