In-reply-to » @ocdtrekkie @bender The whole ActivityPub integration of Gitea for so-called "Federation" (which btw is a bullshit term) is just total nonsense. I mean I "get it", and understand the motivations behind it, but FFS, it would have been done without ActivityPub 🤦‍♂️

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee I agree. If I were to build my own Git hosting “platform” (if you wanna call it that) I would basically take something like Gogs, strip it back to its basics and only have the following features:

  • Basic SSH + HTTPS hosting and clone support
  • Web based file browser (of course)
  • Web based Issue viewer, but just displaying and interacting with [git-bug](https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug( (no database or any of that silly crap)
  • Pull Requests would be replaced by Email submission, so you actually just git-send-email to a special email address.
  • Web hooks for anything else like CI/CD integration
  • No Wiki (I find that feature useless)
  • And pretty much no other features…
