Reasons does not matter: for instance I have an account here to post. Nothing special. But the account is not really mine, is something on HN servers, out of my control. If someone who have access to those systems decide to ban me reasons does not matter, I have essentially nothing to counter. Because of that people MUST learn a thing: using third party services is ok, as long as you are still operational without them. For GitHub there is for instance nothing wrong in hosting code on it BUT it MUST end up there, no PR, no CI no others stuff GH offers, just a public repo. Until GH works ok the repo is visible, you get free bandwith etc. When it became unavailable no issues, there are few other code hoster and you can continue develop as usual. Owning a ML, develop on it, owning a domain name with a small "just homepage" simple site it's pretty cheap, even just with casual donations can be kept up "for free". Choosing NOT to own them because some third party services are nicer and demand less works means choosing to be at risk. That's is. If even FLOSS devs do not understand that we are doomed, as society, because it's true that in a theoretical full inter-dependent world we must be good citizens to exists, but practice prove another thing: few doing "something better" or at least being more able to spread their services more or less quickly gain dominance and outshine the rest, as a result there is no "theoretical free market" and no anti-trust can help so inter-dependency is not balanced. The sole way to remain in balance at the practical proof is to exists in decentralized systems designed to be owned by no one where interoperability is mandatory just to keep the system up.
