      what’s taking people so long

      besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?

        What is missing from GitLab?

        A platform that is down for almost a whole day every month does not seem like a decent alternative for those workloads

          If you have to ask the question, you haven’t made a serious comparison of the two.

      Yep. Pretty sure it’s just inertia/network effect at this point.

      Decentralisation. I don’t want to fall in the same trap picking a huge platform which can only be ran by a large entity. Federation in Forgejo is taking quite long.

      We made a PoC on top of Solid which does work so it is clearly possible, but the code quality is too low to trust the solution.

    Perhaps we should use git in the distributed manner it was designed

      When Nightmare Eclipse got banned from GitHub they were also banned from Gitlab because Microsoft ordered them to. I would not use Gitlab.

      They’ve been pushing a lot of AI slop lately, and in general aim to turn gitlab into an AI-coding-first platform, where humans only coordinate AIs. Search for gitlab act 2 if you wanna know more

          I can do a pull request via email

          Why do issue trackers need to be connected?

            Genuinely, pull requests being off platform without good integrated diff and merge conflict resolution tooling just doesn’t work at a certain scale.
