These projects really need to start standing up their own Gitea or Gitlab instances and mirroring to GitHub.

It also cracks me up every time I see legalistic apologists on this website backing up giant corporations.

A) Who cares about the law? It’s rarely moral. B) Which laws should we follow? The internet exists in every country.

HN has a lot of people suggesting regulations and laws as a solution to almost everything in existence. It doesn't surprise me that same thought pattern also shows itself in emulator takedown discussions like this one.
I doubt hosting on Gitea or Gitlab would have helped in this case since Nintendo reached an agreement with the lead developer.
