GitHub making value judgments on the political correctness of speech in the repositories they host makes me extremely hesitant to continue to use them. I want my service platforms to be neutral to content, so long as it's legal. This isn't some complaint about "freedom of speech" or some whine about how GitHub can't do this, but their doing so has substantially harmed my faith in them as a platform and as a company that I want to be dependent on.
I'm voting with my wallet, and I've just deleted my private repos and downgraded from my paid plan. I don't wish to support these kinds of actions with my dollars.
- shkkmo 11y agoI agree completely. Why the hell should Github care about this? These sorts of decisions reduce my confidence that Github won't make even worse decisions that actually materially effect me. Without confidence in them, I'll start hosting my code elsewhere.
