After the DMCA takedown on Github/Gitlab,
Suyu (the active fork of Yuzu)

Moved to their own Forgejo instance.

    The DMCA is just a method of legal trolling nowadays.

    Don’t like a review of your movie or game? DMCA.

    Don’t like a review of someone else’s movie or game? DMCA.

    Fancy making a quick buck by monetising someone else’s IP through youtube? DMCA.

    Want to exploit automated takedown systems for whatever shitty reason? DMCA.

      I guess they saw the DMCA coming,
      since their Forgejo has been up for a while now,
      initially as a mirror, now as the main repo.

      But starting out on Gitlab/Github,
      helped them with getting the initial exposure to attract new devs to the project.

      Which they successfully gained,
      so I understand why they did it,
      and glad it all panned out as they hoped for :)
