movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

      Why does that matter? The most popular Linux distros are run by for-profit companies.

      I’m curious what real-world scenario you’re envisioning that is likely to happen soon.
