it's hosted elsewhere
Hail hydra
Why TF would you put it on gitlab instead of hosting your own forejo instance?
I swear, some people are just too eager to get in headlines rather than thinking things through.
if you put it on gitlab, you're not the one getting sued when they take it down
I am more saying it's not surprising Gitlab would take it down.
For example. With yt-dl /github they immediately went to a self hosted Gitlab instance. It wasn't simply a hasty move to the public Gitlab instance.
For all the free publicity when it gets taken down. They were probably hosting it six different ways already
They did. https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu
I wonder why they didn't selfhost GitLab. It and sourcehut are the ones that aren't ugly
Not too surprising but still disappointing regardless. Self-hosting is the only way to go for this.
Another, even better way is IPFS.
Regulators can take down your self hosted site. They cannot take it down if everyone has a piece of it (IPFS).
Works just like torrents do. Spread it out, and no one can stop it.
Still selfhosted, kind of, but by everyone.
Sounds like piracy with extra steps
