- McDonalds food is unhealthy, we shouldn't eat it.

- You don't have a god-given right to take advantage of a company's food to make you more healthy[...]

This is basically the argument you're making. I agree with the premise: We don't have a right to take advantage of a company or forcing them to host anything, but we can also evaluate their quality and their level of professionalism, and choose one company or the other based on that. This thread is just pointing out that GitHub is not trustworthy and they lack professionalism when it comes to deciding what can be accepted or not in their platform.

Sure - I'll choose GitHub based on this and other well-publicised "incidents". I don't see any evidence of a lack of professionalism - in fact, I see a company attempting to follow at least some definition of an ethical code, whether that is as a result of internal or external pressure.

If following an ethical code is banning projects that don't align with your political ideology, then I don't want to associate with companies that "follow an ethical code".
