You’ve provided no reason, yet again, for your claim. Am I being unreasonable? Is there no reason you can think of why I might doubt your sincerity?

Random assertions are not valid arguments. I’m not even saying you’re right or wrong, you are providing no value to the discussion.

This you? First comment in this thread?

I’m so glad we’ve had this rising moral grandstanding authortarianism on the left in the past 10 years.

I didn’t ask why you believed anticrypto is leftist, I solely asked of you were arguing in good faith, why you believed you were justified asserting things without evidence. I don’t really care about anything else you say until you prove to me you are a reasonable person. Everything else is just noise.

you will find it is the replies from others who frame things as a left-right binary.

You sure? Like, absolutely sure? Did you check?

All I asked was if you felt it was justified to assume everyone knows why you believe this is leftist. Do you consider yourself a reasonable person? That’s more important to me than anything else you said at the moment.

And I question if the point of it is truely about protecting people or defining in-groups and out-groups and promoting ideological conformism.

My point is, who cares if this is part of the community’s reasoning? All communities are defined by common beliefs.

its more telling that asking us to self reflect on what the contemporary left is evidently such a taboo.

Why do you feel like you can just drop that in without any explanation? Not everything falls into a left-right binary. Open discussions require both sides to be reasonable, you need to provide reasons for your claims, otherwise it’s just noise.

The OSI applies to software like forgejo, not services like codeberg. The term ‘open source’ does not imply a software uses an open license or follows any particular philosophy, it can be used by any project, with any license.

Nope! You just made that up! Open source is when the source is openly available. If you were thinking of the free software movement, you’re still wrong! I hope that’s helpful.

I don’t know if the word ‘censorship’ is the one I’d choose, but assuming codeberg is committing ‘censorship’, what’s the problem? Private organisations do that all the time. It’s only illegal for the government. Have you never had a wage job? Every job training I’ve been through included multiple types of self censorship. The difference between it and government censorship is there’s competition in the private market, you can just leave the job if you don’t want to put up with it.
