Looks like gitlab now requires account verification for new accounts in addition to email. Either phone number or credit card.

This applies both to accounts created with a working email or by logging in using your github account. You can't even verify your email until you go through step 1.

I don't know when this started, but at least for the last month or two judging from these posts in the forums.

Fun fact: I don't even want to host on gitlab, I just wanted to report bugs in some projects. So I'm locked out.

It looks like Gitea. Is it a fork?

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 16 points 10 months ago

Softfork. Basically the version that runs on Codeberg.org

And soon with ActivityPub integration? Pls?

Work in progress, but it's taking longer than I expected.

The forgefed spec itself is a work-in-progress. Not yet ready for a proper implementation.
