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Their documentation has been frustratingly outdated at times too.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.
