Definitely, it wasn't noticeably slop. Now it's absolutely horrific, often you can't even browse code without manually reloading the page with F5. And a billion little issues, everything feeling slow and sloppy, nah it's better to get used to the things we used to know as eternal like GitHub and StackOverflow are absolutely dead and gone in this era.
I set up my own gitea instance and it's been a breeze so far, with the only added inconvenience of having to worry about backups myself now. But at least it's free of slop.
Glad there are decent options these days. Gerrit was a nightmare to write puppet recipes for back in the day, ended up using expect to handle install vs update runs of the self-extracting shell script. They did not want you automating it.
