They did, but the fact it was even considered shows the leadership there is about pleasing VCs, not focusing on users.

Coupled with their recent hiring restrictions and censorship of employees who disagree with leadership, it really doesn't look too good for GitLab.

Sure, I am not saying that #gitlab is hearing in the good direction. Just don't like boosting of incomplete and outdated information. Thanks!

I have a whole thread on GitLab about their recent behavior where I mention the rollback in context. They're not respecting privacy. The rollback is because of the bad PR, boosted because I have not seen the actual email they've sent before.

@MatejLach bring on @forgefed (or #sourcehut or #SaT or #GitSSB)! There are lots of projects working on a federated #CodeForge network, but there is a lot still to be done to get it all usable for anyone other than command line wizards. A good test project would be a docs forge, like #flossmanuals, but federated. If mere mortals can collaborate on docs using federated editing tools, they're ready for anyone to use.
