I've seen some comments about how "gitlab bad" or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

gitlab.com is a for profit service/company. They have an open-source community edition of Gitlab which you can run on your own server. Codeberg is a non-profit association running the open-source software "forgejo" for you. At Codeberg you can become a member and then you can vote for important decisions and make proposals. People also care about ethics there. Nobody cares about profit. Codeberg runs on donations from members. I think some people feel more respected at Codeberg because the governing body of Codeberg is a subset of its users. If Gitlab cares about you, then probably because a bad user experience would be bad for business.
I had bad experience with GitLab people, they were saying things that I already knew and was at their documentation, so I felt like losing time with them.
Microsoft support forum tier?
Microsoft? I mean GitLab employees, they were just linking me and showing me their CI/CD examples that I already knew... was a bit of waste of time the meeting I did with them...
I think they were asking if they were as useless as microsoft support people
