I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero's source Incase something bad happens.

You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!

That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.

I agree with that statement. It’s strange that some privacy-oriented projects are on Github, letting the user browse and downloading files from there via clearnet, letting Micro$oft track every IP/cookie and all.

That said, when “something bad” happens, it’s probably not as simple as that source code is banned. Like, they did attack Tornado Cash yet they didn’t ban source code (which is after all free speech).

If you’re planning to self-host it only for one year, perhaps you’d be survived by Github anyway. Though again, I do agree with you that Github is not certainly the best place to use.
