GitLab is a publicly-traded business like Microsoft with GitHub. We shouldn’t be surprised they fold to corporate interest.
The new owners seemed to have gotten the message to at least self-host a mirror so the corporations can’t control you. More should do this as the D in DVCS is for distributed—distributed collaboration is a supported model for Git, but also Darcs, Pijul, Mercurial, etc.

that was predictable

They could also move to the darknet. I2P allows hosting anonymous services. I2P's devs host their own gitlab server in I2P itself.
No fear of a takedown request or getting sued necessary.

It got moved here https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu/src/branch/dev
Yep, and now they really do need to sue them proper to take it down, they can't just threaten GitLab to bend to their will to avoid a risk of a lawsuit.
Can they not just send a DMCA takedown notice to the host of that web server?
