While that's true, it's unrelated to hosting code. A reliable code hosting site should be agnostic to content. Once they start making editorial decisions about what projects to host, why should anyone trust them with their project?

I just fundamentally disagree that hosting sites should be agnostic to content.

Should they host malware? Anything related to CSAM? Clearly it is reasonable for them to exercise some editorial control, and this is not a crazy use of that power.

What about emulators? E2EE? P2P software? Software that gets used to leak state secrets? VPNs?

Once you open the door, it’s going to be really difficult to resist political pressure in other areas. The mob is easily swayed against new targets.

Yes? Every hosting provider should be considering what they want to host. Of course it's fine for providers to take some sort of speech maximalism stance if they want to, but it is also reasonable not to.

		So you think Codeberg should not host projects in the categories I listed? Or if you think they should, should they also provide guarantees to projects that the rules will not be suddenly changed, disrupting the project and community? If not, and you’re a developer, why would you want to host there?
