They need to move to a P2P model of hosting. Radicle is an open source P2P GitHub replacement. Ideally all open-source development would move to Radicle or a similarly P2P hosted model. If it were made easy enough I would set up an instance to help with hosting on my NAS. These corporations should have no right (or ability) to take down projects that the community has funded and built.

Not a fan of crypto-currencies generally but I would also set up recurring donations to any legit fork of Yuzu that will accept donation via Monero. Fuck these corporations.

GitHub replacement

You mean a code forge? These have existed long before Git & Microsoft GitHub.

I never heard of Radicle but it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I love the idea of Radicle, but it looks like it doesn't support Windows natively, so it seems like a non-starter for now.

Eh, you could use WSL, no?

sure, it's possible. But for many, likely not convenient.
