Wikiless source code (jeremmy.ml)

The source code was taken down in October after Wikimedia Legal Enforcement team had contacted Codeberg. The instances for Wikiless are still up, and I like using them via Libredirect Why is Wikipedia not going after the Wikiless instances ? And what about these projects ? distributed-wikipedia-mirror Kiwix-Android I find it very useful to have a copy on-line in the browser, so I was thinking of hosting an instance myself, maybe even only in my home LAN.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml some times commented on certain practices of the Codeberg staff that went against the status of being a non-profit organization: one of those practices was to ban FOSS projects without apparent explanation that are related to certain areas such as blockchain, torrent, p2p, etc. although these do not violate their code of conduct or are illegal.

Oh, interesting. I thought Codeberg was a good choice, I didn't know about this. Is https://sourcehut.org a better choice ? The project lead of that looks smart and opinionated.
