Stop. Using. GitHub
What would you suggest then? Any company receiving a takedown request will do the same thing. The laws don't selectively apply to mega corps.
GitLab I noticed usually doesn’t get as many since it’s not as well known and discoverable like GitHub is (who is owned by Microsoft)
I have a roommate who used gitlab. apparently the current ownership is extremely profit motivated, and they still respond to DMCA takedowns.
No real upside except microsoft not owning them. Can’t even actually subscribe monthly last I’ve heard. Like, they show a per-month price, but you still have to do annual payments.
Man that sucks and is a far cry from the GitLab that I previously knew
Yeah i originally heard it was great, but that seems to have changed. Happens to a lot of good services
Self hosting Gitlab or Gitea is always an option. Dead simple to do with docker (which the HA devs obviously are very comfortable using).
Self hosting comes with administrative and financial burdens, something that the F in FOSS doesn't really help with, hence using a free service that deals with that for you.
