    They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.

        2018 when Microsroft acquired GitHub it was the largest competitor with similar functionality as far as I know. I used if for a few years before switching to selfhosted Forgejo because selfhosted GitLab back then was painfully annoying and complicated to setup and used enormous amounts of resources and also felt more aimed towards corporate users.
