@julian@fed.foad.me.uk MissKey won't allow me to reply to his thread since he blocked me for not agreeing with his love for GitLab unconditionally, so I'm just leaving my reply here. His post seems to have untagged you as well.lol you can't find a person more devoted to digital sovereignty than meI sure can, Stallman is even on the #Fediverse!you are suggesting to boycott anything that is remotely related to a proprietary technologyInsofar possible, yes. History has shown time and time again that a for-profit, publicly traded company will always fuck over the users given enough time. This is why free software is important, and why we should take great care in protecting it wherever and however we can.

GitLab is what is commonly known as "fauxpen", it pretends to be for freedom, but in reality there's only a part that's open, and the good stuff remains locked.At this point don't use the Linux kernelThe Linux kernel is not an open core model as far as I'm aware, it is completely free software, licensed under the GPL.Your post doesn't explain the reasonBut it does, #GitLab is an open-core model, and so far this has proven to be user hostile in the long term."people like you" is nasty.Perhaps it is, but I am quite clear on the "people like you" I'm referring to, people who proclaim to be big free software supporters, but then don't actually want to support a free software ecosystem if it means having to give up a tiny bit of convenience.
