Terrible decision in my opinion but I'm actually glad that people expose their true feelings like this. It doesn't affect me because I don't host with sourcehut but this just makes it clear who they are and what they stand for.
You can easily expect more of these types of bans now, because why not?
Do you really think that he wouldn't also ban anti-vaccination information sites? Blogs that host antivaxx content? A crawler that caches anti vaccination content so it doesn't get lost?
That's just the most obvious recent example where a critical mass of society has designated something as 'the truth' and everyone who doesn't accept it is bad. I believe this is how he got to his decision about the cryptocurrency ban.
What about code that measures climate information and it happens to measure that global warming is no problem and proudly broadcasts that?
Anti-immigration companies? GOP campaign sites? The list goes on and on.
Very good question. I'm very certain that this is where they would all be banned and it would become a very political case rather than a business decision, even if all of them accounted for 80% of Sourcehut's revenue; especially when your examples are not illegal in the US; this could be different when they move to another country.
