No, there's a big difference between "net effects are not guaranteed to be perfectly neutral" and "I am going to intentionally put my thumb on the scale".

The position that everything is political so therefore opinions are mandatory intentionally conflates these things.

You’re the one who seems to be conflating things - everything is political =/= opinions are mandatory.
The comment I was replying to said

> When people say "We're not political", or "That's not political". What they're actually saying is that it's within my own politics.

That assertion is incorrect. Said incorrect assertion is derived from the conflation I called out.

Reminder that you're commenting on the decision to make someone's political opinion against crypto mandatory for Codeberg
They’re banning crypto projects. There’s no screening for your opinion on crypto. Let’s not make this into something it isn’t.
