| You know, it's fair not to support the service on that principle, However, Sourcehut is actually FOSS software. IE: if you wanted to run one of their banned things, you could, just on your own hardware. It's fine, in my opinion, to moderate your services if people have an escape hatch to get out of your service if you require them to move along. This is a far cry from services such as GitHub, or even Gitlab (with their open core) as transferring to your own system is actually possible, though not without some relative pain. I don't like crypto projects, so of course I am biased here. But if you like free speech then there's not many options and I think sr.ht is the best one (especially if you plan to self-host). GitHub is well known to be controlling of speech and even championed some measures that affected the entire industry, and as others have mentioned they have restricted projects on a relatively arbitrary basis. Sometimes even due to geographic region. |
