Well sourcehut can be self hosted as well (ain't it OS anyways?):

https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut https://man.sr.ht/installation.md

That said, sourcehut has privacy features, and libre oriented features gitlab doesn't. But I understand, as of now, without webUI, as it is, it's pretty hard to adopt sourcehut, and even when it finally does, having invested on gitlab (and even majority on github), which implies time and resources, might not be an easy thing to try sourcehut any ways.

That's why I said if you are still using sr.ht it isn't decentralized, you need to self-host or find a provider to manage the instance.

I wonder what exactly is different, as GitLab is also open source, so you can see what are they tracking. They also have information about that (https://about.gitlab.com/privacy/) but I suppose as I am hosting it on Europe they need to follow the GDPR laws as Europe is requesting to Facebook and those big companies. I just suppose they just track the license thing and news/updates etc...


Said that, I think GitLab is still pretty ethical to work with.
