I was wondering why these types of open source projects always push to Github, despite the latter always complying with DMCA. (I get that Github provides discoverabilty features, but it just isn't worth it to have all your work taken down).

On a similar note, has anyone tried out https://radicle.xyz/? It's supposed to actually make use of git's peer to peer nature (and not the client server model that everyone adopts with git) and ideally provide discoverability features.

The said I've only read the faq and haven't actually tried it myself. Basically I'm wondering if it's worth doing a deep dive on this technology

Give CodeBerg a look. It's starting to pick up some steam.

https://codeberg.org/

CodeBerg is a public instance of Forgejo. You can run your own local instance of Forgejo.

At some point they'll have federation working so you'll be able to use your home instance of Forgejo to interact with other projects/instances.

A lot of my favorite open source android apps have been switching to CodeBerg. Some of my less than legal ones have moved to Telegram, unfortunately. That aside, CodeBerg is great and hopefully it will gain even more traction soon.

It's nice that Obtainium supports CodeBerg, too. I have a few must-have apps that I like to keep up to date straight from their repositories.

I'm intrigued

Lol, its just my manga/anime apps. You can still find some of the repositories on github, but they moved all updates to TG. They also request users to not put the app name on any social media to avoid what happened to Tachiyomi.

There's a large sweep going on with anime piracy atm, too. Github has been obliterating apps left and right.

It doesn't catch on because entry level devs love committing private keys

But how else am I to verify my trust? I trust GitHub!
