Where are they going? If its not self hosted I don't see it not ending up like github.

Why do people not like gitlab? I’ve always found it a better experience than github

		If you're leaving based on security failures, Gitlab is not the place to go.

		Gitlab's UI changes every now and then, for seemingly no reason. The UI is very full of stuff (hard to find your way around), and very slow. Notably in the past months, they've changed the issues/tickets board into a "work items" board which feels infinitely slower to load, has such a vague meaning that nobody can find it (especially when translated), and brings exactly 0 use to anyone i know. They just seem to be doing that with every feature and every part of the interface. On the server side, gitlab was always very hard to selfhost with many moving parts, many requirements, and using much resources. gitlab-runner is not very explicit about things when you're not in the happy path (why is it not picking up jobs?). I'm not even a minimalist. I've been running gitea/forgejo for the past 8 years or so and it's been a miracle in comparison: lightweight server, easy setup/upgrades, and super simpler UI/UX that everybody understands on the first try. Forgejo (gitea community fork) learns from everything that Github historically made good (UX) without any enshitiffication in sight (developed by a non-profit). I highly recommend it.

codeberg

I had a repo with more than a dozen forks banned on GitHub for some unclear TOS violations. Ticket has been sitting for a week plus now, asking for clarification and guidance.

So, it lives in codeberg now. https://codeberg.org/nelsonjchen/op-replay-clipper

It's a running a fork (codeberg specific) of a fork of gitea called forgejo (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo) so it's not surprising. The people behind it were a bit miffed at Gitea doing some questionable commercial endeavors in their view and also not dog-fooding Gitea for Gitea.
