I think that the answer here is eventual widespread use of many smaller options, from FSF's Savannah to self-hosted gitea/forejo/gitlab. Git is in a good position to support this.
not gonna happen. society loves monopolies because they're convenient

Much simpler. Much less features. Completely open source and not only the core.
Any important feature from Gitlab you feel is missing? I personally think Gitlab has way more features than I need but maybe there are some important ones I would miss.
git was designed as a distributed vcs for high-latency connected developers with plenty of ability to work offline. I don't think I've really been impacted by any of the outages. Maybe I wait an extra hour to merge a feature or something, in which case I actually get to eat lunch and browse HN, doesn't feel quite as catastrophic for me, as some of you.
It seems like there are some teams that have figured out a way to turn GH into a labyrinth of CI/CD actions that allegedly produces a ton of business value, but I don't know how typical this kind of use case is. If the average GH user just needs the essentials, I could easily focus those verticals down and spend more time on things like SAML/OIDC, reporting APIs, performance, etc. I suspect there aren't a whole lot of developers who are finding things like first party AI integration to be indispensable.

How does it compare to Gitlab?

The real issue with gitea/forgejo compared to Gitlab is their terrible CI, which is (to some approximation) a clone of GitHub Actions, also a dumpster fire for those of us proficient with/preferring the UNIX command line. You'll probably need a separate CI runner, like Woodpecker or Drone.

Codeberg devs have to disable some features (pull mirrors e.g., only push is allowed to prevent abuse) and they use some custom code (abuse mitigation - spam, etc.) but in general you're getting the latest Foregjo experience "test drive" which only gets better when self hosting when you can use all the features.
I’m at Google, we have a million + file codebase. Every piece of code is snapshotted (no need to commit, automatic snapshot whenever a change is made). Every line of code has its own unique URL (this is for your branch too, not just overall). Background tests running nonstop hourly. Never seen any downtime. The infra at Google is insane
