#4its pretty much a modified instance of Gitea with a small, privacy-friendly German Gmhb behind it. Still like it a lot. Wish more developers at the very least set up mirrors on either Codeberg or Sourcehut.

#5> However, you won’t be getting the advanced features like automation or other integration and collaboration features provided by GitHub.
Codeberg is working on CI and you can request early access. I've found it to work well and fast.

I really don't get why do every org do this. A simple mail about the takedown to the owner with few lines explaining the situation shouldn't be difficult, and I would say it is the best ROI to prevent PR damage like this.

Any service known for not proactively removing content will be overburdened as users from other services who submit 'complaint-generating' content will flock to your service.
When people who submit these complaints don't feel like you acquiesced in their favor they will assemble and call you out. Your service will be known as a safe harbor for groups of ill repute and eventually you may be forced to shutter the service because you're now known as the person enabling groups of ill repute.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that's the cycle that history shows takes place. It seems effective at chilling the content in question and the service providers who serve it.
Examples: voat, rumble, Nchan, Nch, parler, the list goes on.
