Gitlab is always mentioned here as an alternative on most every github outage post. I am wondering if there are gitlab shills ready to fire in these events? There are many other git products as well.

I'm not paid, but I am a proponent for a federated web.

I'm happy to host unlimited number of repos at my own expense[0] if it means people depending less on centralised hosting and allowing them to migrate away when they feel like it.

They also have constant security issues. Some of these security issues make you doubt the quality of the code that Gitlab has...

The only major one that comes to mind is Bitbucket.

Gitlab comes up a lot because its idealistic goals resonate with a lot of the people here.

Perhaps instead of assuming everyone else in the universe is a mercenary liar, you could look to other explanations?

I use Gitlab for some specific things. It's worth checking out. If only because it's nice to know what a migration strategy off githib would look like.
