  • I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren’t finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren’t interested in creating a second account.

    We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.
