   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.

     @erlend Now Gitlab will be in position to dictate standards, and this is probably a bad thing.
     On the other hand, Gitea/Forgejo failed to implement federation despite working on it for years. Maybe Gitlab working on it will force them to reconsider their priorities and we'll finally see something usable.
