Why there's no decentralized github-like ?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 71 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn't makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.

Yeah, but Nintendo hasn't won a lawsuit, which means the code isn't illegal to share. They just convinced GitHub to take it down.

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

They convinced GitHub to send takedown notices, which can be appealed. They're legally required to do this under the DMCA.
