Gitlab also follows DMCA.
Codeberg is a bit different, since they aren't based in the US. However, they're still required to forward copyright complaints. I don't know of any examples of them taking down repos.
Edit: German law, which applies to Codeberg, is quite strict when it comes to what is considered circumvention of copy protection, so it's not unlikely that Nintendo would have a good chance there too. IANAL.
What about gitflic.ru? Bypass paywalls moved there after DMCA
I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were referring to self-hosted Gitlab.
But really anything that lessens reliance on and centralization at Github is an improvement.
You're right that self hosted GitLab (or Gitea) is ideal if they host it with a privacy respecting host that allows customers to stay anonymous. And/Or proxy I2P/Tor like they mentioned.
