FB's phabricator went its own way long ago. I imagine this has exactly zero impact on their day to day.

Put it this way: the last time I saw it, they still had the "clowncopterize" button. Try finding that anywhere else.

What I remember of Phabricator when I used it years ago was the very confusing naming of things, that didn't improve the user experience. It did have a nice command line tool to help you in your workflow.

I think Phabricator's heyday was during a time when everyone was trying to formalize their workflow, another project of that time was git flow.

I heard this was still in the non-fb version if you uncheck "super serious business mode" in the settings somewhere

That sounds fun! What did it do?

It was the reviewers "Approve" button for a submitted patch. The options are/were (approximately) "Reject", or "Clowncopterize"

Do you mean Facebook is running a fork of Phabricator, or what?

Facebook’s diff tool looked similar maybe 5 years ago but there’s been constant improvements to it in that time. There was a dedicated team maintaining and improving it. Today it bears only a passing resemblance to Phabricator.

GP’s claim that Facebook uses Phabricator is an overstatement.
