      Yeah, I get that. But I dont think that its possible to really dmca every fork of a repo on 20 countries without running out of resources at some point because when one fork is taken down, people will make 10 more. the important part is discoverability imo. Feel free to educate me in case this is missing a point.

        its easy enough to send angry shit to every server, dmca and whatever rights violations they can think up, and it can become an issue.

        Of course, the Federation is great, but you still need an instance that’s in one of those privacy-oriented countries.

      – A wild Codeberg appeared. –

      Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects.

      Website: Codeberg.org


      The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members’ concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

      Wikipedia: Codeberg e.V.


      In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy’s “Give Up Github” campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.

        Certainly better than the U.S. in that regard but I wouldn’t consider Germany “resilient” either.

        Unfortunately using codeberg itself is kinda crap. Its not the worst thing in the world, but it still has zero discoverability , and is missing features like code search.

        it does have potential though if it is resilient.
