If you are doing a FOSS project not hosted on GitLab, you could also host your project website on http://statichosting.co/ for $5 a month.
Yes. I lobbied several companies to terminate their enterpise contracts with github because of their racist attitudes. All switched within 2 weeks. Some to VS Team Services, some to Gitlab. My work projects went to MSFT, but I think I will transfer my side projects to gitlab from bitbucket, since they have pages now.

Since you turned this into a discussion about race, I am inclined to speak up. Racism and discrimination is about who has power. Caucasians in America have all the power and hence the struggle of the minorities for equality. I admire github for taking a stance in the diversity debate( although I have yet to fully familiarize with the details). I know that people from all demographics desire equality and a more fair w…
Ah yes, I'm really against discrimination based on race, but when I see a Caucasian I know they have power they don't deserve. All 10s for these mental gymnastics.
>I know that people from all demographics desire equality and a more fair world.
Going with your previous statement: why would Caucasians desire equality if they benefit from inequality? Of course, when you say equality and diversity, you mean a reduction in white males, regardless of merit - you already made up your mind that they got to where they are unfairly and that they owe you their position.

>Save the outrage for people who are actually discriminated against How about white people at Github?
Is there any indication they're suffering actual discrimination? Pay gaps, harassment, disproportionately not-hired or fired?
A white person living in the Big Island of Hawaii.. almost daily.

This is the world's smallest violin, playing just for the white people. Save the outrage for people who are actually discriminated against.
So, whites cannot be discriminated against? Sure, whites have messed up. Still do. But does that mean they can't be discriminated against?
It is the only place I have lived where, as a white person, you are discriminated against on a daily basis.
It really really sucks. It also opens your eyes to what it feels like to be on the receiving end of racism.

Like all racism, how much you encounter it really depends on where you live. A white person living in the Big Island of Hawaii.. almost daily.
Github is predominantly white and located in SF. Are white employees there suffering significant "actual discrimination" as the post a couple levels up alleges?

Yeah, but I wish they'd give more credit where due. On their markdown page they claim "For GitLab we developed something we call "GitLab Flavored Markdown" (GFM)." while that is obviously a ripoff of GitHub Flavoured Markdown.
I agree we should give attribution here and created https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/3546 to do so. Edit: this was merged.

altruism or morality or may be people just want to be nice to each other...

Economics is not a zero-sum game.

Civilization is a new idea. May be we are all learning from the past and working towards a better future.

I know your account is over two years old, but: > If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills. [0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Wouldn't a corollary be "if your account is over a year old , feel free to submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit?
