   I continue to be amused by people who want to discuss changes to a social network on anything but that social network.

     Really starting to appreciate my old boss at IBM's motto of "dogfood your shit or gtfo"  If you aren't going to use your own stuff, how can you expect anyone else to?

     @maiyannah Dogfooding is great, but what if the use case of collaboratively creating software is different than the use case for a social network?

     @maiyannah @cwebber As an example, SSB is developed on #SSB because there's #gitssb. I don't think waiting for git-OStatus or git-ActivityPub to emerge before developing ActivityPub is a good idea, and neither is staying away from the current tools of the trade for the sake of it.
     
     Of course, there's more than one person involved who thinks using github rather than Free project hosting software is problematic, but there are many contradicting forces leading to that decision, and it's hardly unique for the Free world.
     
     AP or OStatus support in #gitlab or #gitea would be really cool though.
