      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. other privacy/convenience 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.P.S. They did move their codebase to Codeberg as a result.

        Their documentation has been frustratingly outdated at times too.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.
