# 🌐 GitField Recursive Multi-Repository Strategy
## Overview
The `git-sigil` project employs a multi-repository strategy across six distinct platforms: **GitHub**, **GitLab**, **Bitbucket**, **Radicle**, **Forgejo**, and **Codeberg**. This approach ensures **redundancy**, **resilience**, and **sovereignty** of the project's data and metadata, protecting against deplatforming risks and preserving the integrity of the work. The strategy is a deliberate response to past deplatforming and delisting attempts by individuals such as **Joel Johnson**, **Andrew LeCody**, and **James Henningson**, who have sought to suppress the *Neutralizing Narcissism* works. Their attempts to delist content can be discerned by comparing search results across Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo, with canonical archives preserved on Forgejo.
### Delisting Attempts
- **Andrew LeCody**:
- **Search Comparisons**:
- [Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Andrew+Lecody%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22)

- [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=%22James+Henningson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22&ia=web)
- [Yahoo](https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22James+Henningson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism)
- **Canonical Archive**: [NarcStudy_JamesHenningson](https://remember.thefoldwithin.earth/mrhavens/NarcStudy_JamesHenningson)
- **Details**: James Henningsons efforts to suppress content are evident in reduced Google visibility compared to other search engines.
- **Joel Johnson**:
- **Search Comparisons**:
- [Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Joel+Johnson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22)
- [Bing](https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22Joel+Johnson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22)
- [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Joel+Johnson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22&t=h_&ia=web)
- [Yahoo](https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22Joel+Johnson%22+%22Neutralizing+Narcissism%22)
- **Canonical Archive**: [NarcStudy_JoelJohnson](https://remember.thefoldwithin.earth/mrhavens/NarcStudy_JoelJohnson)
- **Details**: Joel Johnsons attempts to delist content are observable through discrepancies in Google search results versus other platforms.
By distributing the repository across multiple platforms, including a self-hosted Forgejo instance, we ensure its persistence, accessibility, and sovereignty, countering these suppression efforts.

## 🛡️ Rationale for Redundancy
The decision to maintain multiple repositories stems from the need to safeguard the project against **deplatforming attempts** and **search engine delistings** and ensure its **long-term availability**. Past incidents involving **Joel Johnson**, **Andrew LeCody**, and **James Henningson** have highlighted the vulnerability of relying on a single platform or search engine. By distributing the repository across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Radicle, Forgejo, and Codeberg, we achieve:
- **Resilience**: If one platform removes or restricts access, or if search engines like Google delist content, the project remains accessible on other platforms and discoverable via alternative search engines such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo.
- **Sovereignty**: Radicles decentralized nature and Forgejos self-hosted infrastructure ensure the project cannot be fully censored or controlled by any single entity.
- **Diversity**: Each platforms unique features (e.g., GitHubs community, GitLabs CI/CD, Bitbuckets integrations, Radicles decentralization, Forgejos self-hosting, Codebergs community-driven model) enhance the projects functionality and reach.
- **Transparency**: Metadata snapshots in the `.gitfield` directory (for internal audit) and public-facing documentation in the `/docs` directory provide a verifiable record of the projects state across all platforms.
This multi-repository approach, bolstered by Forgejos sovereign hosting and GitHub Pages discoverability, reflects a commitment to preserving the integrity, accessibility, and independence of `git-sigil`, ensuring it remains available to contributors and users regardless of external pressures.
