Even the Discord and Buymeacoffee page got taken down. This is larger than any other DMCA I know of

Edit: even the Telegram has been nuked. Yup, Telegram

Slight correction: the discord isn’t down. I just couldn’t find it in my list of servers

    Yet another reminder that GitHub is not your friend, but also that borderline projects shouldn’t be hosted on anyone else’s server other than your own, you’ll possess all the repository data, but you’ll also be made to shut down anyway if on the clearnet, so I wonder if it’s possible to host a forge through Tor/i2p or others.

    Still, this is clearly wrong on who sent the DMCA, the apps never host the content, I hope they can get back up.

    I doubt this is larger than when MegaUpload got DMCA’d.

    But yes, it’s pretty big.

    Imo this is why big projects that are borderline like this should use github alternatives, preferably self hosted solutions. This was always going to happen.

    Hopefully they had backups elsewhere. This is why piracy apps need to at least try a little to not make their github so obviously a piracy app.

    I hope @MonetarySqueeze@lemmy.dbzer0.com updates reiverr to use open source movies from the blender studio for the images/gifs so it can be passed off as a media app for non piracy related streaming

      But I like Anilist. And the UI and features of Saikou

      The UI of Tachiyomi isn’t made for Anime. It’s a Manga app and it’s great for that, but it’s horrible for Anime
