GitLab has taken a good amount of funding. Which means they will sell out eventually and the ones concerned about big brother taking over will be right back in this discussion again.

Some type of crowd funded federation needs to be created and owned by all of us if we truly want out from under this type of concern.

I caution the community against optimizing for continuity when there are so many other factors that come into play. Sure it sucks to change which tool you rely on every few years but that’s bound to happen anyway for one reason or another.

I mean it’s all Git so switching might take 20 mins a repo, but without some of the great features the most modern (often well funded) companies offer you might lose 10 mins or more a day.

It’s all up to you but I don’t value continuity as much I do productivity.

It's funny but gitlab, start working with amazon and is hosted on google? And nobody says anything about it.

Microsoft is the devil :O :)
