@ireneista @mttaggart @vfrmedia @philcowans not an expert but my thought is that "community hosting" (my thoughts are the neocities codeberg git.gay space) would need to coordinate with bulletproof hardened shit, and spaces subject to legal/copyright takedowns (bypass paywall extension on Russian git hosting, self-hosted Switch emulator forks) are an example of this spectrum

i did feel a lot of Nintendo fan projects were developed too openly with not enough opsec and bulletproof hosting, like they had no plans to keep Nintendo from finding the project, sending the C&D like countless times before, and finding their home address

i did wonder how homebrew estrogen managed to be hosted on the clearnet for so long

it *is* sad how most of the game piracy and libgen/scihub mirrors are scammy or CAPTCHA hell
