> I hope that the DMCA takedown issue can be resolved reasonably, but it’s starting to seem more and more like a move off of Github is overdue.

It's a risky move, dabbling with stuff that is targeted under DMCA. Anything hosted in the US is liable for takedowns - including domain names that are under the control of US-based companies. You'll need to deal with acquiring hosting and DDoS protection yourself, plus keeping track of security updates. And to be honest Europe isn't exactly a legal safe haven either, we also have nasty laws (e.g. in Germany the infamous "Störerhaftung") exposing you to liability.
