    How is gitlab doing these days? I created a gitlab account back when they started, but I’ve gone back to github, and not used gitlab much.

      forgejo and gitea are implementing activitypub rn. Soon you will be able to create issues and participate in discussions from the comfort of the fediverse.

        That’s interesting. I wonder if that will increase portability of those features. I like that in git you can easily push to a new remote, but if you really want to switch git hosts, you need a lot more moved over than just code.

      They started out doing well but they’re getting worse IMO. They nerfed the CI availability into the ground for open source project use to the point it’s basically unusable. You eat up your pathetic 400 minutes a month in no time. Basically, if you want CI you have to provide your own runners now. They have definitely been following the enshittification trends of late. They grew to prominence as an open source GitHub alternative and now they barely support open source on the platform. Definitely hoping a third alternative becomes viable with CI that is actually usable for open source projects.
