Do you not think a piece of software can be acceptable independently of whether or not its creator is racist?

- mellosouls 4y agoYes. But individual acceptance or use is very different from the ethical and legal obligations of major corporations. And in this case, we aren't just talking about the creator, the allegations are about the actual content being hosted.
- _8j50 4y agoCreator? Sure. The user account maintaining and updating it? No. Racism is just one thing, there is a ton of other undesirable beahviors like cp, fascism, swatting, participating or supporting acts of violence against strangers without provocation, participating in a spam/phish/malware campaign, backdooring code the list goes on. You are still free to host your own git repo on your own servers. The dude was pretty racist, good work by GH employees: https://web.archive.org/web/20221013110023/https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/WhiteOnly https://web.archive.org/web/20221013110023/https://github.co...
