I think you should be first asking how easy is it to get free support from GitLab.

We may find out very soon. If this blows up (and it really should), Gitlab may pull a move similar to their automatic migration utility from when Microsoft acquired GitHub.

For GitLab.com maybe that’s a question, but nobody is going to ban me from my self-hosted service.

Don't mean to sound facetious, but isn't self hosting also technically hosting somewhere ? (Unless you mean actually having access to the physical server where it's running from)

In other words are we just assuming Digital Ocean/Hetzner or wherever one 'self-hosts' is less likely to auto ban you for no reason? I would say yes, but I hope others are atleast considering this aspect when comparing this moving to Gitlab or whatever
