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
Slight correction: the discord isn’t down. I just couldn’t find it in my list of servers
Yet another reminder that GitHub is not your friend, but also that borderline projects shouldn’t be hosted on anyone else’s server other than your own, you’ll possess all the repository data, but you’ll also be made to shut down anyway if on the clearnet, so I wonder if it’s possible to host a forge through Tor/i2p or others.
Still, this is clearly wrong on who sent the DMCA, the apps never host the content, I hope they can get back up.
Exactly GitHub is owned by Microsoft
I doubt this is larger than when MegaUpload got DMCA’d.
But yes, it’s pretty big.
Yeah, I mean any Anime related app takedown
Hopefully they had backups elsewhere. This is why piracy apps need to at least try a little to not make their github so obviously a piracy app.
I hope @[email protected] updates reiverr to use open source movies from the blender studio for the images/gifs so it can be passed off as a media app for non piracy related streaming
Lol. Somebody reposted my post on reddit: reddit.com/r/animepiracy/comments/16v4jru/saikou_the_best_anime_streaming_app_on_android/
I don’t mind at all and am kinda happy.
Imo this is why big projects that are borderline like this should use github alternatives, preferably self hosted solutions. This was always going to happen.
Just use aniyomi, it’s not locked to anilist
But I like Anilist. And the UI and features of Saikou
The UI of Tachiyomi isn’t made for Anime. It’s a Manga app and it’s great for that, but it’s horrible for Anime
Man when they finally git repo federation will be available…
The dev of Saikou made an announcement on the Discord about this
What the deuce is Chouten? I could not find a thing about it
