  • Fun, but as a GitLab user I’d much rather they address missing features of their core competency (code review), like the inability to “request changes” or otherwise block a merge (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/761, issue open 6 years), or adding the ability to both squash and merge AND use the merge train

    I know companies are big organizations that can do more than one thing at a time, but we were just burned again recently by the inability to block a merge, and so I’m salty

    ForgeFed - Federation Protocol for Forge Services

  • From the comments, Forgejo is also already working on implementing ForgeFed, an ActivityPub extension specifically designed for software forges [0]. Judging from the issue, it looks like they're well on their way [1].

    I have to say, I'm not super into the idea of social media, but this is a use for federation I approve of wholeheartedly. The friction of having to create accounts on X forges (where X is the number of projects that self-host GitLab) is a huge moat for GitHub, and federation could solve that very handily and create an environment where FOSS projects can feasibly host their own code away from Microsoft's control without horribly inconveniencing everyone who wants to participate.
