  Of course no company is perfect, and I don't expect perfection. Github is owned by Microsoft, so I have very low expectations of their morals. But gitlab say that they value open source. So that was the standard that I was holding them against. If a code forge claims to support and value open source software, why would they hide all the open source code on their platform? Why would they consider deleting stale open source repos? I was just holding them up to their own standards, but I see they don't care about that. It's similar to holding Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers to different standards. Google doesn't claim to give a shit about privacy, but Mozilla do. So when Firefox does some privacy blunder people get upset. But when Chrome does it, people don't care because they already had such low expectations of Google. Some people try to live their lives by their principals, and not just "as a bonus".
