Did we learn nothing from SourceForge, my friends?!?!?
"Oh no, Microsoft DMCA'd my project! Whatever will I do with this fully intact git history that I have mirrored by design on every single development machine?"
git remote seturl origin https://codeberg.org/me/my-projectI've gotta say, this doesn't strike me as a particularly substantial issue. I'll admit that it becomes harder to find contributors when you're trying to operate outside of the $MAINSTREAM_PLATFORM, but that's going to be a perpetual problem in the world of "Forge-likes" until someone figures out how to federate the social-media aspects of it (sidenote: why hasn't anyone tried doing that?)
EDIT: Of course someone was already working on it. Why did I even think of assuming otherwise? Godspeed to the ForgeFed project!
Every website hosted in the US is subject to DMCA (or directly getting sued for copyright infringement). Even if you host your own website and refuse to comply with DMCA requests, they'll just send them to your hosting provider instead.
