He can use a locally hosted gitea
Of course he can... But then it's as simple as a DDoS attack to shut it down. He wouldn't want to host it on his own equipment, because there is a huge possibility for attack. He can pay for a server, but I assume he'd just setup the one. Unless he pays for a distributed server setup, there would be a single point of failure, and a single server to overwhelm. He can use CloudFlare, but then CloudFlare can decide they don't like his content either, and just block access altogether.
All of those things are much harder with an existing website with a larger infrastructure, and content other than his own posts.
Well said.. It would be difficult to match the load balancers larger sites have. Cost, resources, etc. Side note: fuck cloudflare.
Put it on i2p and let the world shuffle it around.
He could host a Tor Hidden Service or an I2P eepsite. Still possible to DDoS, but a bit harder. But then you're missing out on 99% of spreading possibilities.
Tor is a good idea. There are plenty of people that would happily seed the repository to spite Microslop
