Why TF would you put it on gitlab instead of hosting your own forejo instance?

I swear, some people are just too eager to get in headlines rather than thinking things through.

I wonder why they didn't selfhost GitLab. It and sourcehut are the ones that aren't ugly

if you put it on gitlab, you're not the one getting sued when they take it down

I am more saying it's not surprising Gitlab would take it down.

For example. With yt-dl /github they immediately went to a self hosted Gitlab instance. It wasn't simply a hasty move to the public Gitlab instance.

For all the free publicity when it gets taken down. They were probably hosting it six different ways already
