That's not how the argument and poem[1] goes. If a devops team for a pro-choice campaign was being censored on SourceHut because it does not align with Drew's moral compass, nobody would defend this with "well, they can just run their own git hosting services, so what's the problem?"
A lot of people building crypto tools also are happy to use centralized services like GitHub, SourceHut, GitLab, because they might not be satisfied with the alternatives.

- woodruffw 4y agoI'm very familiar with the poem, thanks. Take a look at the last line! > If a devops team for a pro-choice campaign was being censored on SourceHut because it does not align with Drew's moral compass, nobody would defend this with "well, they can just run their own git hosting services, so what's the problem?" Actually, I suspect that's precisely how some people would defend it. And why wouldn't they? It's completely independent from agreement or disagreement with the position.
- zeroclip 4y agoYikes, I hope that people on HN would not defend such a decision this way.
- woodruffw 4y agoWell, me neither, but that doesn't mean I don't expect it :-)
- jakelazaroff 4y agoWhy not? Should Drew be forced to provide ongoing labor for anyone who asks?
