Fundamentally, I think the argument that we should consider alternative source hosting platforms to GitHub and Gitlab because they might respond to legal action and ban/remove stuff is flawed, when we ourselves run infra which bans/removes stuff for legal reasons.
The latter is our choice, though, admittedly within the parameters of the world we find ourselves in, whereas the former is something we have even less control over. And as you wrote earlier "some countries make really stupid laws" and "some countries enforce them stupidly". So wouldn't it make sense to minimize exposure to such laws and infrastructure in such countries? And to speak up against such laws and them being enforced stupidly? Gerald
