Ladies and gentleman: distributed tools, in that very case for instance but not limited to, ZeroNet, was invented for various reasons. So why ALMOST ALL FLOSS projects do ho have a simple vitrine website + the rest on top of distributed solutions?
Oh sure, some like GitHub and co since they are easy but my dear FLOSSers having your data in your hand is valuable and it's a thing you all know. So please try.
Try to AVOID GitHub and ANY other code hosting, as well, because it does not matter if is run by some "evil" company or some friendly one, it's not your system. Almost any FLOSS dev have enough iron and bandwidth to share hes/shes bits in a P2P system, do that. If you are unsatisfied by some classic distributed development models (like git patches over a ML) develop something else BUT distributed or being able to run on top of something distributed.
If you do so, you not only protect yourself and your users from some evil actors BUT you also brake the leg of all corporate power who try to put anyone in walled garden. FLOSS is the most comprehensive and valuable codebase in the world, if it manage to be independent of top players they are TFU simply by the fact the rest of the world know and understand they are not essential and something better like classic decentralized internet do work better than them.
They annoy us with some actions? We can break us entirely killing their most important asset: the band of sheep who thinks we can't live without being on the shoulder of the giants.
Aside MANY new tools will rise, paving the way for a came back of classic desktop model.
