Developers making mods and plugins for hentai games and sex toys say Github recently unleashed a wave of suspensions and bans against their repositories, and the platform hasn’t explained why.
Developers I spoke to said the community estimated around 80 to 90 repositories containing the work of 40 to 50 people went down recently, with many becoming inaccessible around late November and early December. Many of the affected accounts are part of the modding community for games made by the now-defunct Japanese video game studio Illusion, which made popular games with varying degrees of erotic content. One of the accounts Github banned contained the work of more than 30 contributors in more than 40 repositories, according to members of the modding community that I spoke to.
Github didn’t tell most suspended users what terms they broke to earn a suspension or ban, and developers told me they have no idea why their accounts went down without notice. They said they thought they were within Github’s acceptable use guidelines; even though they make mods for hentai games and things like interactive vibrator plugins, they took care to not host anything explicit directly in their repositories.

To explain ur downvotes: git != github
lol! oh shit, thanks for reducing my ignorance slightly! lol, you got me. that’s terrible.
does git clone multiple things, not just github? fuck me, i have a lot to learn still…
Git is to GitHub as porn is to PornHub. Simple as.
Holy crap that is the best analogy I’ve heard in my entire life
I recommend giving the wikipedia page a quick looksie, especially the “Git Server” section.
Git isn’t a service like you may be expecting, but git servers can be. GitHub, GitTea, GitLab, SourceForge, and Codeberg are all examples of such services, all of which can be used with the git tool.
Yea, git is software that lets you manage repositories whereas github, codeberg, forgejo etc are websites that allow you to host those repositories. You don’t necessarily need any of those either, you can self host your own repositories if you wish, the only difference is how you can share and collaborate on repositories.
