All companies operate according to the moral compass (or lack thereof) of their founders. Some of them simply choose not to state their morals. I don't think that the slippery slope argument which is being made here and throughout the thread holds much water. We've made no indications that we're planning to address any other use-cases in this manner and we've made the reasoning behind our decisions pretty clear; it's my hope that you can infer our future behavior from these details. If you want any clarifications on SourceHut's position on any other topics, I would be happy to share my thoughts.

I was not implying that you'll slip into such extreme policies, it's just that people with strong moral compasses are often unable to reevaluate their positions: "this is good, so it cannot be wrong". Which leaves me no choice but to trust all my future projects to services run by people as you put it, "without a moral compass". If I'm into (say) 3D printing and create software for it, I simply will not risk getting de-platformed just because some dude is upset people are 3D printing guns and guns are bad. The day 3D printing is illegal/restricted, I'll stop or accommodate to regulations. I chose "3D printing" as something innocuous, but feel free to replace it with anything divisive and controversial... People just do not realize who *exhausting* it is dealing with founders with strong moral compasses. (And yes, I get it's their/your prerogative and if I don't like it I can GTFO. Just venting off.)
