Theoretically you shouldn't need to, who buys a plugin is entitled to its source code because it must be licensed under GPLv2 or later due to Wordpress's own licensing.
Despite that, I haven't dug much, but I am surprised I haven't found an alternate store that redistributes plain plugins without the paywall.
Are you sure you need the paid-for plugins, or could you get away with free (gratis) ones?

This is some depressing news

Fine, here you go, now

No no, don't get me wrong, it very much still is, it's really great for what it is, but for my own purposes it's a bit too much maybe, and I never thought to come back also because I was, and still am, anticipating federation on Gitea/Forgejo, I didn't expect that GitLab would add that in as well, so now that'll be a moot point when the relevant merge requests do land

I was on GitLab for a time (and still keep the account for following stuff and maybe contributions), but felt it wasn't as free and community focused as I would have liked to, so I decided to move away and went to Gitea (the hosted instance), shortly after I discovered Codeberg which aligns with my ideals even more, so I went to try it and it stuck.
The UI isn't that bad in my opinion and it's more responsive than GitLab's, so I appreciate it.
Not to say that it's the perfect platform of course, at least not yet, I miss GitLab for the easy actions/CI and deployment of pages, but I'm hoping that Forgejo actions will land soon enough and make things better.

Note: recently I found out a userstyle that tries to modernize the UI by following a Material You-like interface called Gitea Modern, don't know if it's still holding up since it's been archived

I guess. I haven't lived through its golden age as a developer, but, seeing it now, anything would be better than Sourceforge IMO, so I would understand why people would move away even just for practical reasons

Based

..but this will realistically just spawn some new mirrors and proxies because the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won't ever move away.

Anyway, I am doing my part! (With my irrelevant profile)

Thank you for backing me up
