It took me a minute to figure out what this was even talking about.
Tangles is, apparently, a gitlab-type project where PRs and bug reports and stuff are available on something called "at protocol" which is the bluesky social network "federated protocol".
at protocol competes with ActivityPub, which is mastadon

so you could, in theory, have a little federation of gitlabs peer-to-peering with each other, which is desirable for some reason.
- jonahx 6mo agoThe "some reason" isn't mysterious... it's redundancy and avoiding a single point of failure and ownership.
- liveoneggs 6mo agoBut the actual git part isn't federated
- ascorbic 6mo agoGit itself is already federated. Every clone is a repo. That's not the bit that needs fixing.
- liveoneggs 6mo agoso you would consider fossil a fully realized version of this?
- mikey_p 6mo agoexcept it isn't at all like ActivityPub and is implemented radically differently to avoid many of the problems with ActivityPub.
- liveoneggs 6mo agoI was saying at protocol is to bluesky as activity pub is to mastodon So it's as if all the github pull requests were tweets, I guess?
