the issue isn't federation or anything like that, the issue is finding a repo hosting service in a dmca resilient country
Yeah, I get that. But I dont think that its possible to really dmca every fork of a repo on 20 countries without running out of resources at some point because when one fork is taken down, people will make 10 more. the important part is discoverability imo. Feel free to educate me in case this is missing a point.
its easy enough to send angry shit to every server, dmca and whatever rights violations they can think up, and it can become an issue.
Of course, the Federation is great, but you still need an instance that's in one of those privacy-oriented countries.
You can get chatgpt to do this. Or write a simple script.
-- A wild Codeberg appeared. --
Website: Codeberg.org
Wikipedia: Codeberg e.V.
Conservancy: Give Up GitHub!
Certainly better than the U.S. in that regard but I wouldn't consider Germany "resilient" either.
Unfortunately using codeberg itself is kinda crap. Its not the worst thing in the world, but it still has zero discoverability , and is missing features like code search.
it does have potential though if it is resilient.
The DMCA only applies in the US. Every other country doesn't give a shit about your DMCA request.
and yet, they still obey them...
And even EU based companies will bow down to DMCA takedown demands, if they want to serve American customers.
