Huh. Gitlab just said it's too hard with their cut staffing numbers and they're not doing federation.
...git is federated. i'm assuming they're talking about things like issues and runners, but i don't think that's really necessary...
As in the federation of Forges, like Forgejo is trying to do
yeah that's what i don't really understand. they're like building a separate layer on top of git, when things like fossil exist.
If you read it again, you may find I said gitlab and not just git.
And we won't talk about how git's decentralization is nothing like the concept of federation as it's being used in this entire discussion.
we arleady had this discussion further down a few days ago
Yeah, IRRC thus far they only have starring (not unstarring, mind you) implemented and it's not even in main yet
