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

Question - What happens if we are hosting a Git repo ourselves, like using Gitea or something, and we receive a DMCA takedown request and we refuse? I mean, they can take down the domain, but what if weare hosting on a personal homeserver and keep changing domains whenever they take one down?
They should upload the code on an .onion page
Nobody would use the app then because nobody know of it and people would download viruses.
They could make their own F-droid repository to be easily accessible to users
Doesn't really fix the issue if it's only available over Tor or I2P.
The F-droid repository would be in the clear net I believe, I may be wrong, but it's way more unlikely that it would get shut down IMO, it doesn't get much traffic as a web page
That really doesn't change that they have to comply with DMCA requests.
