video by Brodie Robertson about activitypub on gitlab (YouTube link)
He presented the issue with gitlab very well. Setting up an entire new account is the major reason (besides time) I don't contribute to projects on other gitlab instances. For some reason Gitlab management didn't think it important at all (maybe even considered it a feature).
Their documentation has been frustratingly outdated at times too. But since GitHub is MS owned there are better options. I prefer codeberg for having an actual account on.
