  He presented the issue with gitlab very well. Setting up an entire new account is the major reason (besides time) I don’t contribute to projects on other gitlab instances. For some reason Gitlab management didn’t think it important at all (maybe even considered it a feature).

    Actually, Librewolf team set up recently a poll “should we move to Codeberg?”. And this was one of the reasons for migrating.

    P.S. Full list of issues with gitlab:

    • gitlab.com seems to require credit card information for new users signing up, which is not really great if people just want to report bugs.

    • gitlab.com uses Cloudflare, which for a few weeks locked out LibreWolf users from accessing gitlab.com in the past.
    • GitLab requires Javascript even to just look at issues, which is not the case for Codeberg

    P.S.S. They did move their codebase to Codeberg as a result.

        From what I remember, they require a credit card info for people outside of US. Here’s my screenshot with Netherlands VPN: Image

        Yeah, been using GitLab semi-professionally for a while and have accounts on multiple instances, it never asked me to have a credit card on file, and I just don’t put in a phone number. Saying that it requires it is sensationalism.

    Their documentation has been frustratingly outdated at times too. But since GitHub is MS owned there are better options. I prefer codeberg for having an actual account on.
