Just be aware that sourcehut is Opinionated and some projects are unwelcome there (eg: even vaguely cryptocurrency related code)

Nice feature!

  I dunno, I consider it an anti feature personally. They don’t allow crypto related code to be hosted there purely because the guy who runs the show dislikes crypto. What else does he dislike in the future? AI/ML projects are just as divisive as crypto coin projects…

    Given his opinions on package managers like npm, I guess anything vaguely adjacent doesn't feel welcome.

      SourceHut planned to ban Go Module mirror due to bandwidth they consume, then they have talked with Russ Cox, and Go team agreed to implement caching into Go (-reuse flag, IOW) [0]. I think this is a major win, because assuming everyone have their unlimited 10gpbs symmetric dark fibers at their home, office, car and mobile phone is wrong on so many levels.

That's one of the nicest features of SourceHut, IMHO. There's a real person to talk with, and some hard principles behind the service. Don't on the same page? Nobody forces you to use it. The related update, in short, tells this:, You have a legit blockchain project, tell us, and we'll allow you. Crypto? We most probably don't allow it [0]. The wording is this (verbatim): We will exercise discretion when applying this rule. If you believe that your use-case for cryptocurrency or blockchain is not plagued by these social problems, you may ask for permission to host it on SourceHut, or appeal its removal, by contacting support. I'd rather have my project removed by a person who I can talk with, rather than a corporate chat bot pretending to be human, and my source code is not harvested without my consent for a service which is sold at me $10/mo.
