GitLab is now dead.
I've been running it for a 3 digit userbase in a professional context for 7years. It worked great in the beginning, but over that time it has become more and more annoying and difficult to administrate, riddled with bugs, always pushing half baked features and leaving broken basics to be dealt with by customers.
They're now doubling down on slopifying everything.
Users beware. Escape while you still can. I probably won't be able to.
@thunfisch same here. Eyeing switching to forgejo. But it will be painful.

@thunfisch oh man, I had two self-hosted instances running and nearly every update ended in massive problems. That was some years ago. Eventually we switched and I shut it off. Recently I thought switching back because of the stuff happening at GitHub… well…

@thunfisch My employer is all in on Gitlab. This is going to be interesting, and by interesting I mean VERY BAD.

@thunfisch Codeberg is not an option to move to for you?

@thunfisch
Thanks for the warning!
I migrated my wee stuff to Codeberg (out of simple curiosity) about a year ago (or two?) but will delete the remnants. -

@AlienJay @thunfisch dont say codeberg say forgejo

@thunfisch Wow I didn't know gitlab did an IPO in 2021. Their shares are down 77% since launch... no wonder they're sacking people

@thunfisch I haven't had any major problems running self-hosted Gitlab in the ~13(?) years I've been using it. I've always been impressed (and have taken inspiration from) their public company handbook.
And this news is likely to erode all of my trust in them as a company and their product.
Enshittification seems to be everywhere.

@thunfisch Same here, except I'm running GitLab for a 4 digit user base. Hoping to offer them a Forgejo alternative soon.
