> Why is it the HOSTING services job to decided community guidelines?
because GitHub has been trying to save their reputation after some pretty lousy things went on, leading to them deciding to bend to PC pressure.
I'm all for respecting others, and absolutely against any sort of threats of violence, harassment, etc... It's a massive problem online.
That's a ways from having people flood your project with requests to change things like master/slave terminology or the name of the project because "bro" is horrible.

- serge2k 10y agoDoxxing, Harassment, Swatting, etc... Plus it's hardly right that you can threaten someone just because "lol it's the internet brah"
- flukus 10y ago> Plus it's hardly right that you can threaten someone just because "lol it's the internet brah" Unless we lock down the internet and give up anonymity then it's something we have to accept.
- 8fGTBjZxBcHq 10y agoNo, it's not. That's the whole point. People are stepping up and saying "No, we do not have to accept this" and other people are shitting bricks.
- flukus 10y agoThe people doing this are the harassers. "This person has political views I don't like, they should be removed from the project, even though I've never heard of the project before now".
