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

What is git repo federation? Why will this help?
I thought git is a very decentralized technology?
Well, Git is still centralized. Typically there’s only one main location where work on a project happens - a Git forge like GitHub, or in the simplest scenario just an SSH server.
Federation will help because it will allow working on a project in one forge from another forge. You could e.g. create a pull request on your own self-hosted forge (e.g. Forgejo instance) and then submit that pull request on another forge that’s hosted somewhere else. GitHub taking down a repo wouldn’t be as annoying, since people would still have the main sources of their pull requests in their own forges. And GitHub wouldn’t be able to remove their fork for whatever reason.
I believe that Git is decentralized. Because people choose to use Git hosting services doesn’t make Git itself centralized. Git doesn’t force you to sign up on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. You can use git-appraise to get decentralized code reviews. You can use git-bug to get decentralized issue tracking. You can always send maintainers patches with the built-in send-email command as GitHub/GitLab/… require an email address either way. You can always clone and push the repository somewhere else. Most (self-hosted) Git hosting services provide an automated migration procedure for issues, discussions, etc.
But that is already possible right now? Using a git forge is only a convention to make life easier, not something coming from git itself. You can have as many remotes as you like.
Like Git x activityPub 🤔 seems doable, or where would be problems? Just something like pipeline, which creates an activity post including the commits🤔🤔

Gotta uses ActivityPub? Afaik it was just a nice easy to self host git solution like gog
I’m not smart enough to understand it, but maybe these sites can help you see how they’re doing it:
Forgefed looks very good, I’ll test that out 😃
