This message has been posted on their discord server yesterday, currently the app is being worked on and has no definitive ETA. We probably have to use other forks until that. I don't know whether I can share the discord server's link so not sharing that until a mod gives heads up.

Wait it actually got taken down?

This was stated in their official announcement.

In the upcoming days:

Our core GitHub repositories will be taken down.

The official social media accounts will be closed.

The official Discord server will be repurposed into a general community for those who are interested in staying.

Man that is nuts how thoroughly those guys are folding when they've done absolutely nothing illegal

legal battle is a headache for a bunch of open source devs who work in remote and communicate in discord. also having a legal battle will involve their irl names which is not a good thing for them.

I guess a positive outcome of this might be people more seriously considering alternatives to Github. Something about MS owning the defacto developer platform never sounded good to me.

GitHub didn't do anything. This isn't because the code was taken down (it's still there, as are all the forks that are also perfectly legal); it's because the maintainers decided it wasn't worth putting up with big pocketed harassment to keep doing it.

Based on some other article I saw on this yesterday, my understanding was that GitHub was likely going to take them down for the BS DMCAs they were receiving, but maybe I misunderstood what I was reading.

GitHub (and everyone else) is required to follow the process laid out DMCA takedown requests. The uploader just has to submit a counterclaim, and they can put it back unless they actually go to court and file a lawsuit.
