Hopefully they can find a new home. I am ashamed of GitLab. I used to love it but they get worse and worse by the day. Maybe Codeberg would be a better home. Nintendo can't kill this, there will always be new places to host software and it's open source.

It's absolutely ridiculous they took it down even though Nintendo didn't DMCA the Suyu project directly. Shitty corporate cover-our-ass behavior at its finest.

Removing open source code from the Internet just isn't possible

Unfortunately, it's possible if the project is small. Also, even if it's big, people will be left with clones in different states and of different times, and it will require some coordination to put everything in order again.

So to sum up, people will be forced to waste time, which also may be the goal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have to think people have stored stuff in a blockchain somewhere. I wonder what the response to that is.
