Emulator takedowns continue. Not long after its first release, Suyu emulator has been removed from GitLab via a DMCA takedown. Suyu was a Nintendo Switch emulator forked from Yuzu emulator, which was the high-profile subject of a takedown by Nintendo last month. GitLab deleted Suyu's repository, stating that they'd received a takedown notice for the project. The tongue-in-cheek named emulator still has an official website up, though the Discord is not allowing new members, and the GitLab download page is gone. However, it seems a self-hosted download page is still available.

The suyu repository is still up.
Don't know about the Discord tho, I don't usually hang in emu servers.

From a quick glance on their repository, they purposefully removed the Discord server link and changed it to a private chat for suyu.
Most likely this is the best course of action so "you-know-who" doesn't enter uninvited.

Imagine still using Discord for ANYTHING that can be taken down....

Indeed.
For a project like this, using Discord (and GitHub/GitLab) is just asking for the same thing to happen.

It is legal, but Nintendo using the DMCA to bully and harass developers and fan project doesn't make it illegal.
People should stop depending on US stuff so often, it's only US-based apps/services that tend to have these kind of results.

Correct! Just use a service from like Panama and it should be safe.

Brasil too, since Nintendo has no bearing there, or Russia so they absolutely can't do jackshit.
China could be possibly safe but with Tencent having Nintendo contracts it's unsure.

They also need to majorly rework suyu's source code since alot of it relies off of an sdk that tropic haze (devs of yuzu) illegally used, I suggest that (in basic terms) they swap out sdk-infused code with ryujinx's
