Or just the “doing” part

It’s obvious in the case of git, git development occurred before gitlab existed.

That’s horrible advice lol

And I completely disagree. I’m quite happy to continue using this site.

Imo your advice is counter to the foundation of the fediverse. If you want piracy, then go to a piracy instance. Vote with your feet, my friend.

Banning any chance that instance owners face legal actions for piracy.

It’s really not tough reasoning. The vast majority of instances will do the same.
