r/programming·medium signal
Gallery-dl, a popular open-source media scraper, moved to Codeberg (a Europe-based Git hosting platform) after receiving a DMCA notice from FAKKU, LLC that took down the GitHub repository.

The r/programming discussion (219 upvotes, 30 comments) highlights ongoing tension between open-source circumvention tools and platform compliance policies.
