tbsprs@fdroidorg Although, I check "Delete source branch when merge request is accepted." in the "merge options" of my pull requests I notice that the remote branch never gets deleted at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata
Is that on purpose or a bug?

@mike I think a lot of #metrics re #software and espechally #FLOSS are bs.
#LinesOfCode incentivize #messy and convoluted source. (i.e. #IBM)
#PullRequests & #MergeRequests incentivize a shitload of micro-corrections and "code cleanups" that aren't productive. (i.e. #Huawei doing to #Linux)
#Stars incentivize #StarFarming.
#Sponsors incentivize #Smurfing & #Sockpuppeting. with alt accounts.
same with #Contributor Numbers and Number of Contributions.
Frequency of Commits and changes incentivize constantly pushing empty commits as a sort-of-heartbeat.
#Forks doesn't say jack shite (in fact I know companies that do run a git mirror that regularly pulls repos from some public projects of mine.
#Donations and #Funding - if any exists at all - only supports massive projects and orgs and not necessarily key components that they too rely upon!

JoeY ☕️🎮✍️🏽Reminder to self. Don't write comments on tests and/or code. Lest merge requests get blocked because there's unwanted code (read: it's a comment, not code!) in the commit. 😆

BoudJust to clarify @ new arrivals: Musk has not given his $US 44G to the Fediverse, and we don't have a centralised kitty to pay the developers who left the birdsite and "employ" them.
Find ways to support the developers of #Pleroma, #Pixelfed and so on: provide money or comment usefully on #GitRepository issues (or at least upvote their priority) or propose #MergeRequests with the required features or provide detailed bug reports.
