Gitlab closed their epic for ActivityPub Integration - people aren't happy (gitlab.com)

A single contributor (oelmekki) had started integrating ActivityPub into GitLab, which could have been a huge win for the source forge, but despite praising him for it GitLab didn't assign enough resources to help him out. Unsurprisingly oelmekki ran out of steam and now, a year or so later, Gitlab just closed the epic.

Comments have started coming in from the community (and customers) expressing their frustration with GitLab over the decision. The ticket was reopened but without an official communication.

My company wouldn’t let me access our GitHub for work projects (different department), so I made a private ForgeJo server at home and can tunnel in via Tailscale when away from home. (Decided not open ports and self-host a proxy for now). It worked perfectly and I believe ForgeJo is fantastic! I think Fedora started using them too.
