In this particular case - at least from the meager scraps of information I can gather - Wikiless was taken down on trademark infringement concerns, and the creator hasn't had the time to do the necessary modifications to properly debrand their fork.

The general cycle of "abusive users look for platforms that look the other way, while non-abusive users insist on platforms that don't" still applies. But the concern is less "Nazi[0] bars" and more "The Pirate Bay".

[0] FWIW I do not believe that it is possible to censor a Nazi.

a) They just turned the page into a 404, without any notice about what had happened to the repo.

b) They did not notify the repo owner, and took several days to respond.
