Hey there, I'm on the Community Relations team at GitLab. I'd love to learn more about your experience as a member of the GitLab community. When you say that opening an issue on GitLab doesn't make you feel part of a community, are you referring issues on one of GitLab's projects (ex: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab ) or are you referring to issues on open source projects being hosted on GitLab.com? Community is…
I think he meant just the network effects of a social platform. Github has more people in them so there are more people interacting with repositories hosted on Github. I wish that somehow people carried identity across Github / Gitlab / Gitea / other services. Like, a federated issue tracker. Or otherwise that the issues themselves were easily movable between platforms, with no lock-in. But the incumbent platforms ra…

I haven't seen the projects you shared. I'll take a look. Thanks.

#27This is cool, but I do find it odd that GitLab and Gitea isn't supported. It's always strange to me seeing people choose to build their platforms dependent on proprietary 3rd party infrastructure when good open-source self-hosted alternatives are available and easy to set up.

Sure. The gist is that Disqus collects your data like no one's business, and other shady things like ads. It's a very popular commenting system because it's free to use and easy to setup, but there's an obvious downside.
