@Alonealastalovedalongthe Not only all that Ultimate and Gold amnesty, GitLab also is going to add support for federation (like what Mastodon has), which means you can fork it if you don't like the direction it's heading, or want to host your own instance.

@Alonealastalovedalongthe Why wouldn't it allow that? 🤔

GitLab "Ultimate" and "Gold" for self hosting now free for education and open source.

This is GitLab taking this massive opportunity after Microshaft swallowed GitHub and making the best of it.

The more people are moving over now, the better their own future will be in the long run.

GitLab also make migration easier, starting the #movingtogitlab campaign with a straight-forward video etc.

GitLab is open source itself, too.

@giannhsts It is a work in progress, it's amazing how they've managed to slide in to be available to more and more people in that almost *impossible* market situation.

Now in partnership with Sony and SailfishOS 3.0 incoming, it will be an interesting next year for Jolla. More and more supported devices are coming, too.

Then there will be that Purism / Librem stance... No need to purchase a Gulag Android device no more :thinkhappy:
