At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

Oh snap, we have to decentralize the hub

I mean, that's been obvious since Microsoft bought it.

But this is really more about how emulator devs ought to accept that Nintendo is going to try to persecute them and start keeping themselves anonymous to avoid being ruined by lawsuits, even though what they're doing is neither illegal nor unethical.

Is it anything like forgefed?

A “hub” implies centralization, no?

Not necessarily. Look at Lemmy instances for example. You could call each instance a hub, but the content is pretty much distributed.
