Curious to know what this email conversation looks like. πΏ
I mean, "fuck you OnlyFans" seems correct phrasing
Codeberg exists. But no people still have to just flock to corporate bullshit and then be surprised when they pull a corporate bullshit.
Codeberg is great, but it is hosted in Germany, and subject to their laws. AFAIK, Germany has laws against tools for "circumventing copy protection", or "hacking".
So I am not sure that they can provide a save haven for tools, where some lawyer could argue these points successfully in front of a court.
ActivityPub is amazing for censorship because anything that gets posted to one instance gets immediately archived thousands of times over.
There needs to be a widespread p2p solution for opensource projects before its too late. I have lost count of all the amazing stuff that has been gravity bombed from orbit.
There also needs to be a way for authors to submit things anonymously too and maybe sign their things with cryptographic keys to ID it. How many times has a company had a court order someone to cease and desist or simply acquire somebody's work?
p2p solution for opensource projects
That's called Git and it's been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)
Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.
You'd think Usenet is dead.
It's not.
Oh boy it's not! But mainly for binaries

I2p has a git service
It's not always takedowns either, just the developer deciding to nuke their own repos. Real annoying, although it's making me more vigilant about forking/mirroring important repos.

Bad pattern.
The moment when GitHub was bought by M$, the risk of such behavior started.
To GitHubβs credit, when rightsholders allege violations of the DMCAβs anti-circumvention provisions, GitHub conducts its own assessment. If there is no basis for a claim, GitHub sometimes finds other copyright-related grounds, but here there is no pushback. Thatβs usually a sign of a complaint that stands up under intense scrutiny.
This just implies that the Microsoft employee was an OnlyFans subscriber simp.
