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
there are already many forges hosted through i2p, I imagine the same can be said for tor. That doesn't mean the host can't ban you there as well though.
Unlike three-letter agencies I dont think the copyright holders of some anime will be able to figure out who hosts you if youre behind tor.
Not that I think putting a repository behind tor would be a good idea when it comes to ease of use in submitting bug reports or contributions.
i didn't necessarily mean copyright holders could find you, i just meant you're still at the mercy of the host (unless that host is you)
