It looks like Nintendo is now trying to shut down almost all of the remaining Nintendo Switch emulators, including Eden and Citron.

        What makes you say that? Probably 95% of FOSS projects I see are still hosted on GH.

          I should clarify, self hosted Gits for projects that may fall under targeted harassment by corporations (Eaglercraft, Switch Emulators, etc…) are becoming popular.

          Ryujinx, operating out of Brazil, couldn’t be taken to court by Nintendo. So a lot of projects that could have Nintendo’s eye of sauron on them are looking for a safe country and self hosting as guaranteed insurance from a Yuzu situation.

          Primary hosting, but they can always have a fallback for at-risk projects or even just use p2p. Of course that already increases the risk of a potentially hacked provider/repo or just fake/malware versions in the wild

      They’ll need to proactively clone it to a non-github repos before its shutdown.

          Why? Why is it harder to get it from codeberg or even self hosted forges?

          It’s not like most people find it by randomly browsing Github

            It’s not harder to get it from there, it’s harder to get contributors.

            They absolutely do, that’s why devs are always begging for “stars”.
