I've seen some comments about how "gitlab bad" or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

    1. Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.

    2. Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit

    3. This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.

    4. Super minor, but the codeberg team "self-hosts" their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.
