SourceHut is more reliable than GitHub. I mean this in the truest sense of the word, I can rely on SourceHut not to act against my interests, both ideologically and just basic usefulness.
I thought so too at first, until the owner changed their TOS to forbid all crypto and blockchain related projects, essentially kicking me off their platform.
So no, it's not reliable. The platform is at the behest of a small group of ideologists, who might change their stance on any topic on a whim.
GitHub on the contrary continues to host code that has been OFAC sanctioned. I'd rather stay with them.
Yes, it's a really bad move, you pay for the service but the nature of your code is not welcomed.
Like you i was a bit shocked too...well and a bit sad since i was thinking that a hosting i pay for should give me more freedom and not less, and that code(knowledge?) should be free.
I think you're mixing up what "freedom" is in regards to open source.
Sourcehut's code gives a user the freedom to use it for whatever they want - including hosting their own crypto-currency projects.
sr.ht the "service" on the other hand is not required to do a thing and denying users the ability to host those projects doesn't contradict any licence the code has been released under.
I wouldn't blame them considering most crypto related things are scams. To protect the platform, its best that it just not be there. While github has the money to defend youtube-dl, the truth is the RIAA killed it.
If you're doing scammy things, stick to fossil and host it on your own.
Agreed. Moved all my stuff from GitHub to Sourcehut. Haven't looked back. Well, okay, I look at the trending repos and star some that are interesting, but I don't host my personal projects on there.
