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.

I understand they have more urgent things to tackle, but would be curious to know what they consider higher priority.

Their latest release announcement seems to focus on AI a lot https://about.gitlab.com/eighteen/

Hopefully it's done carefully, not an excuse to push all users to run an AI slop machine.
