Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations
If your IP (and possible your browser) looks "suspicious" or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source projects without doing so, I do not think any open source project should use this service until they change that.

No worries, gitlab is a trash Ruby on rails app anyway 😹
JK I do love gitlab, sad to see the corporate takeover. What features dont you get with the foss version? Can't figure it out amongst the marketing cruft. Seems like it would be relatively easy to build another hosted gitlab provider.
So why does gulab need to kyc anyway? And if it's a legal requirement, won't GitHub do the same?
Is KYC a thing outside finance?
This isn't KYC, it's "prove you're a human".
I guess gitlab is just the first to realize that captchas don't cut it anymore
