Guys, stop using github. Put your stuff on gitlab or codeberg (clearnet or on I2P), or even put it on radicle (which can also be hosted on TOR or I2P). They'll have a much harder time taking down stuff on alternatives and it'll be nearly impossible on hidden services.

Gitlab also follows DMCA.
Codeberg is a bit different, since they aren't based in the US. However, they're still required to forward copyright complaints. I don't know of any examples of them taking down repos.

Edit: German law, which applies to Codeberg, is quite strict when it comes to what is considered circumvention of copy protection, so it's not unlikely that Nintendo would have a good chance there too. IANAL.

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were referring to self-hosted Gitlab.

But really anything that lessens reliance on and centralization at Github is an improvement.

You're right that self hosted GitLab (or Gitea) is ideal if they host it with a privacy respecting host that allows customers to stay anonymous. And/Or proxy I2P/Tor like they mentioned.

What about gitflic.ru? Bypass paywalls moved there after DMCA

Radicle seems to be the most resilient darkgit ! Self-hosted gitlab, gitea or codeberg is already better than GitHub
