I'll be damned when Forgejo (or gitlab) starts charging me for selfhosting.
Sounds like a hard you-problem to me there.
User 1: "I'm having an issue with a service, has anyone else experienced this?"
User 2: "I do not use that service." <-- This contributes nothing to the discussion, and makes User 2 sound like a prick. Don't be like User 2.
User 1: "I pointed a loaded gun at my foot, and now shot myself!"
User 2: "Don't do that."
Okay, everyone knows guns are literal weapons. Not everyone has the time to look into things and develop an anticorporate opinion to the point simply using a service is a loaded weapon and simply using it is cause enough for "no sympathy, sucks to be you!" when they have trouble with it. Maybe this might make them change their minds eventually, but even if it doesn't… this seems a bit more blaming the victim. Get angry at the corporation, not the person who wasn't born believing corporations bad. If I fail to lock my door, that is probably unwise of me, but everyone should be more mad at the thief for stealing from me in the first place.
