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
If it’s a DMCA takedown notice, both GitHub and GitLab are required to take it down. There is no real agency on the part of the hosting site.
It’s up to the uploader to counterclaim and enable the host to make the content accessible again.
We can see a lot from Suyu cases that also on Gitlab it just DMCAd without warning to the maintainer compared to uyouplus and saikou that hosted on Github with proper warning message. So, users have a brief time to fork it or download the latest version. So, Github is much more humane.

Gitlab is a corp
… and corps are never your friend.
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.
Finally a use for block chain tech.
I’m not super familiar with it but basically that would mean each code base would be an immutable chain, and all edits get appended? Seems like that would be very compatible with torrent seeding, just need to handle the branches. A branching blockchain, is that a block tree?
I’m being a little silly. Blockchain stuff wouldn’t work great for hosting git on for a number of reasons. You might be onto something with that idea about integrating it with gir and torrents, though. I was thinking of using it as an external way to verify the repo is the real thing and hasn’t been tampered with but your idea may be a better version of that.
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.
Does this affect the Firefox version? I only see discussion around the Chrome extension so far.
The add-on is still available in the add-on store:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-for-firefox/
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).
Got it. Well, it works and is much easier to install.
