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
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.
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 doubt this is larger than when MegaUpload got DMCA’d.
But yes, it’s pretty big.
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.
Maybe they changed something since I used it the last time when it came out but I find the UI to be horrible.
It’s a Manga UI used for watching anime. I rather have a UI with beautiful animations. Saikou has one of the most beautiful UI I’ve ever seen in an app.
While I love Tachiyomi (J2K) as a Manga reader and I think it’s the best one on any platform, it’s not great as a Streaming app designed as a streaming app (I know Saikou isn’t just a streaming app and you can also read Mangas in it, but I rather use Tachiyomi for that)
Edit: just checked it out. Nope still a Manga app UI for an anime streaming app with horrible discoverability and you can’t switch between different sources easily. The sources are cool I guess, but I don’t need those. You also can’t add something on Anilist and automatically have it added to your “continue watching” list.
Switching sources def isn’t a single button thing, but it’s only a few clicks using the Migrate option in the 3 dot menu, it will transfer the progress you had in the previous source and the Anilist/MAL tracking.
Since I use AniChart’s website directly I never missed that part being in the app, but it would be cool too.
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 @MonetarySqueeze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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
