Can't wait to see open source developers, shouting about how they care about independence and competition, take their distributed-protocol source control tool and
*reads open source developer playbook*
Move to a new ISV that literally uses its refusal to deny nazis a platform as a selling point.
Yes. Sure. Go to GitLab. Great.
@Elucidating I mean, its not GitHub, and not everyone can host their own. Could you recommend me another?
@Reistle Can you maintain gitlab?
@Elucidating No, but since its core is open I can do more than I could with GitHub.
@Reistle If you wanna empower and standardize around a company that sympathizes with Nazis and protects them, by all means use GitLab. You might even find the enormous amount of time you need to invest in actually understanding the problem and servicing your needs within it.
Or you could, you know, just use git on a rpi and take your PRs via email and call it a day.
@Elucidating @Reistle Ah yes, because punching through multiple NATs, one of which isn't under your control, is so easy.
Hosting things yourself isn't an option, that's why ISPs are dragging their feet on IPv6 so hard. They *want* you stuck behind carrier NAT so you can only consume.
@Elucidating @Reistle can you link to info about the nazi connection?
@Reistle Btw, gitea is not awful.
@Elucidating Oh hell they do what now? Shit!
@mkhl Gitlab got famous by saying, "We do no censorship whatsoever and we're proud of it."
@Elucidating @mkhl I’m curious because I never heard of that. Care to provide a link/search terms?
@Elucidating I had no idea they did that but now I do I will never make the mistake of thinking about using them so thx 
@Elucidating
Hum... Sorry, I don't get what this means. Is this criticizing gitlab? If so, why?
I'm asking honestly. Maybe I'm missing something because I'm not a native English speaker or I'm missing some piece of information/meme/something but I can't really figure out what this toot is supposed to mean.
It's okay too if you don't feel like answering this!
@ardydo I think that moving to gitlab because of existential dread over what Microsoft+GitHub might do is goofy and wrongheaded.
Gitlab is still a corporate isv stack with lots of IP around gitlabbl they could choose to enforce to make a client's life hard. I think they're equally bad from an open source standpoint.
@Elucidating Oh, I see now.
Thanks for your explanation!
@Elucidating
What do I search to learn more about this?
@mikeburns Sadly, mostly GG forums. Gitlab was for a long time their primary haven.
Please be aware: eventually GL decided those folks were too obnoxious to keep around. But there were in fact lots of complaints.
@Elucidating @mikeburns GG? Please explain.
moving to gitlab.com doesn't solve the problem, but using the gitlab software to self-host may make sense for some people depending on what features they need, I guess.
How more thoroughly and precisely can you spit on everything that matters about your ethos and appeal to convenience: a study.
