Gitlab seem to be terrible for rolling over for corps.
Yeah, Gitlab take down the repo without notice. Github even gave the warning letter first before take down the repo

Gitlab is a corp
- Kumatomic ( @kumatomic@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English8•5 months ago
… and corps are never your friend.
- krolden ( @krolden@lemmy.ml ) English1•5 months ago
What if I am the Corp?
- goldteeth ( @goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English5•5 months ago
Well your corp don’t dance and if it don’t dance then it’s no friend of mine

Everything’s out of control and the corps are doing it from pole to pole.

Self-host the git please.

We need a GitTorrent protocol with DHT. All forks could be one repository, and the identical code shared between them can be cross-seeded.

can still be DMCAd 🤷

Host it somewhere the DMCA doesn’t apply

It can but they have to go through the effort to actually follow through with the end goal. It’s not just an easy automated bureaucratic process to keep stupid safe harbor provisions (that’s why copyright claims are so abusable).

So they took down a list of URI and some JavaScript references? On what grounds?
- DeltaTangoLima ( @DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com ) English4•5 months ago
I haven’t gone into detail on this, but I suspect some shiny-suited, greasy-haired wanker lawyer has been able to make a case that things like site-specific CSS classes and the like can somehow be covered by DMCA.
I’m 100% speculating (not American, not a lawyer) but it’s more than URIs and Javascript, is what I’m saying.

Is self hosting it with Forgejo over Tor an idea?
- locuester ( @locuester@lemmy.zip ) English1•5 months ago
Perhaps https://radicle.xyz/
I was just looking at that today due to the increase in repo takedowns lately.

Does this affect the Firefox version? I only see discussion around the Chrome extension so far.
all of the repo get 404.

The add-on is still available in the add-on store:

That is the pre-forked version, which doesn’t have nearly as much support as Magnolia’s version.
The pre-forked version’s code is still on GitHub, but the last commit was 6 months ago.

Here’s a bit of history of the forks (unfortunately the conversation was on GitLab, so this is an archive).
- Bigfoot ( @bigfoot@lemm.ee ) English2•5 months ago
Got it. Well, it works and is much easier to install.
- /home/pineapplelover ( @pineapplelover@lemm.ee ) English5•5 months ago
Most of the time, if you disable javascript, it may work or if you use the archive.is site, I think it’s called, then it works.

Thanks for the share - have grabbed the latest Firefox repo for my private Forgejo.
