i'm not reading all the posts in this mailing list am but saw this one.

relation: during yt-dl dmca blackjack also seemed nonpresent on github, but
they were present on their project chat, and had two primary repositories
on other services (I think on was gitlab and one was something with a gitea

People now moving to this, which also does comments...

I probably don't need to know about any further forks.  comments is pretty
cool, let's mirror or proxy those onto a decentralized or federated network.
