Hello, World! I'm jzombie, a passionate software developer with a knack for problem-solving and a love for open-source. I believe in the power of code to change the world and make our lives easier.
Who wants to be strong-armed into constant maintenance or deletion? What if a project has just reached a certain EOL and you want it for archival purposes?
Either GitLab will find new management who sees the value in code, whether actively maintained or not, or people will just jump ship.
They obviously aren't innovating enough to keep themselves relevant.
Honestly, I can't see why not just move the unmaintained projects to GitHub. Despite what people say about GitHub at times, and perhaps Microsoft's willingness to train AI copilots on other people's open-source, it seems that the code itself is the currency engine that drives it, and they don't seem to have issues w/ code archival.
Or use both (and include BitBucket if you can stand their UI... ...)
It seems that GitHub is the most polished and seems to offer the best all-around tooling, though I haven't really used GitLab in years.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
