DMCA Notices Took Down 31,151 GitHub Projects Last Year * TorrentFreak

GitHub's latest transparency report reveals that the company received 2,000 valid DMCA takedown notices last year, resulting in the removal of over 31,151 projects. Targeted repositories included copied code, but also pirate apps, IPTV playlists, and many Nintendo Switch emulators. Circumvention takedowns increased slightly, but GitHub notes that these continue to be heavily scrutinized.

Hope developers start actually either self hosting forgejo or move to a platform that isn't run by a hostile organisation with ties to ICE (Microsoft), like codeberg.
- came here to say exactly this.
  also y'all, consider donating to Codeberg if you have an account there, they've been getting hit nonstop the last week or so by chuds.
  
  I'm curious about codeberg. It looks like they have a CI/CD pipeline. How does it compare to GitHub actions?
- Don't forget Gitea
  
  We believe Forgejo is a fork of Gitea by Codeberg.
  The reason we see it as better than Gitea is because it's aiming for federation which is something very much needed in code repositories, we shouldn't have to sign up to multiple sites just to be able to help out with a project.
  If Gitea has federation then let us know!
  Edit: Also, Gitea is not really open source any more in spirit if not in license which is why the community tends to prefer Forgejo.
