Why not to move to GitLab?

[nidamanx]

This sw is absolutely a great one.
Why not to move to a real open platform like GilLab?
I think all community will approve and it will match better than to stay here.
Could be nice to think about.
Thanks to everione of you

Why not to move to a real open platform like GilLab?

Gitlab uses an "open core" model, which makes it not a "real open platform".

A completely free/open platform would be something like Gitea. A popular Gitea provider for FOSS projects would for example be https://codeberg.org/.

LOL, when did they started this?

GitLab is not only completely unusable if you disable javascript but also for non-registered users.

[reinerh]

It is (was?) also unusable if you want to use a name that ends like a file extension:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335278

[rusty-snake]

Right, this one too. And fyi it is fixed (deployed?). https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/65954/diffs

fefe about the fix (https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=9fbe3f7c):

Der Fix ist jetzt, dass sie nach einem Punkt davor gucken. Wenn also jemand mit Nachnamen plain oder zip heißt, hat der immer noch verloren.

The fix now is that they look for a dot in front of it. So if someone's last name is plain or zip, they still lose.

🤣

netblue30's own gitea instance would lead to more decentralization than gitlab.com which will eventually be bought by a big tech company in the future.

• firejail.xyz
• gitea.firejail.xyz
• ...

Running your own instance is like federation.
