GitHub blindly taking down another repo after another dumb DMCA complaint is just giving me the last push to migrate my projects to a self-hosted Gitlab instance.
I've first thought of it after the youtube-dl takedown, and decided to schedule the migration after the company fired a jew employee who called the Capitol Hill protestors Nazis, but I admit that I've got a bit lazy in the meantime.
Thanks GitHub for reminding me that I shouldn't be this lazy and I should move my software ASAP to a safe home where I don't have to worry about my code disappearing from the web overnight because of a dumb lawyer who has no clue of what he's talking about when he talks about tech.
When open-source developers get pissed of how you treat their projects (most of them developed and maintained for free) they don't come down to the streets, they don't take you to courts, they don't harass your employees. They just move their projects somewhere else, update the URLs provided online, and go on with their lives as if nothing happened. And we all know that GitHub without projects and without developers is nothing but a shiny empty box. I wish you guys enjoy your shiny empty box soon - maybe ask one of those lawyers to contribute some code to it.
